Census support for the over 50s
SeniorNet New Plymouth through the Federation of NZ SeniorNet Societies has a short term partnership with Statistics NZ to assist people over the aged of 50 to complete their census forms.
To complete this partnership in New Plymouth we will be available at the Senior Citizens rooms at 27 -29 Liardet Street New Plymouth from
• from 10 am to 3 pm Saturday 3rd March to Tuesday 6th March
• from 10 am -12md on Wednesday 7th March
Anyone over the age of 50 can come in for assistance in completing their census forms.
Our volunteers can help people over the age of 50 to:-
• Assist people to complete their forms online using our laptops.
• Assist people to use their own laptops or hand held devices to complete the forms on line.
• Assist people to complete the paper if they have already obtained them
People must bring their household census number that they should have received in the mail and know the names and dates of birth of all persons who will be in the house on census night.
We will be using the Senior Citizens Rooms on the ground floor below our Learning Centre to ensure easy access for everybody.
There are 2 disability car parks outside the door.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
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.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
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!
