SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Elvie

Reporter Community News

"Hi there, my name is Evie and I am looking for my forever home. I am a lively girl with lots of energy that requires a home that has large breed, dog experience and is keen on furthering my training as I have not had much previously. Dog obedience classes would be great for me. I have been mixed with other dogs here at the Centre so I could go to a home with another dog - one that is social and happy to share their home and life with me. I am not suited to a home with cats and younger children as I don't have the most appropriate manners. I sometimes forget that I am not a tiny dog.
When I am one on one with people, I slow down and enjoy any love and cuddles you can provide. I am eager to learn new things when I'm not being a total goofball! I may need someone around for parts of the day, just until I am more settled into my routine and to help further my toilet training. If you think I am the dog for you, apply to adopt me today!"

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Jo from Hutt Central

Has your accountant told you about recent changes to KiwiSaver contribution rates and how they may affect wages and payroll calculations?
