Attacked by street racers, then he had to swim from his flooded car

Mildred Armah Reporter from Rodney Times

Just weeks after Mark Maclean was left in a coma after being attacked on his driveway, he was escaping from his car as it was caught in the Auckland Anniversary floods.

The Warkworth man was found on the roadside in December after being critically injured in an alleged attack, which saw him being placed in an induced coma for a short period.

Maclean suffered severe brain injuries and a fractured eye socket in the alleged attack on the driveway of his home in Warkworth, north Auckland, on December 9.

Poll: Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

How do we Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle the hard stuff?
We’re talking tyres, paint, and agricultural chemicals — the items that aren’t always easy to dispose of.

Recently featured in The Post, this innovative business is showing how waste can be transformed into opportunity, turning what we throw away into products.

But this raises a bigger question: how do we get our waste to the right people — the ones doing the right things with it?
♻️ Do you think Auckland Council is doing enough to help households safely dispose of hard-to-recycle waste and get it back into the supply chain?

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

Scam call

Geoff from Gulf Harbour

Had a call yesterday from a supposed Spark employee wanting to arrange a time to send a technician to update our fibre optic broadband to 5G. Suspicious, I played a long to see what the scam might be. While credible at first, the questions moved to what I used my computer for and when I refused to answer these he rang off.
The "arrange a time to send a technician" was to appear credible and gain trust, followed by the scam.
