Me whai rohe pōti Māori tātau?

Communications from Hastings District Council

Should we have Māori wards for our local government elections?

Kia ora,
Me whakatū ai tātau i ngā rohe pōti Māori mō ngā pōtitanga ā-rohe hei te tau e tū mai nei? Kōrero mai ōu whakaaro.

Hei whakamōhiotanga māu, kia tukua ā-ipurangi rānei haere ki www.myvoicemychoice.co.nz...
Hei te Rāpa, te tekau mā rua (12) o Haratua ka katia ngā tukunga kōrero.

Should we have Māori wards for our local elections next year? Introducing Māori wards means voters on the Māori roll would vote for candidates in Māori wards instead of general wards. Tell us what you think.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ 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.
