🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Last month, the council was told it faced a deficit of $3.9m, mainly due to a correction to its user-pay refuse sticker revenue budget - basically, it wrongly estimated how much money it would take in from sales of council rubbish stickers.

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

A rental property owner has hit out at a “laughable” Tenancy Tribunal ruling that saw her awarded $25,000 from a disruptive tenant - to be paid off at $30 a week.
“I will be 82 years-old when it’s fully paid off,” she said. “Laughable.”

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

Local Murray Brown’s up in arms about the new layout on Cambridge Rd. Parking spaces have disappeared near Hillcrest Stadium and nearby shops, and he says the configuration leaves drivers backing out of parking spaces into oncoming traffic that they can’t see - which includes trucks and double-decker buses.
