Today we have Andrew Hubbard from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your consumer rights.
A little bit about Andrew:
Dr Andrew Hubbard is deputy chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CAB) and loves working for the CAB so much that he’s been there for more than fifteen years.
Andrew believes in the difference people can make working together in the community and loves being able to support the work of the more than 2000 CAB volunteers across the motu. Andrew’s background is in policy and he’s been actively involved in consumer issues for the fifteen years he’s been at the CAB.
Andrew and the CAB team are ready to answer your questions about your consumer rights. This might be questions about when you can get a refunds, your rights when buying via Facebook or overseas, product delivery issues and what to do if a retailer won't sort a problem out for you.
Andrew is here live on Wednesday from 9.30am for your questions.

Share your favourite lunches from your school days or the go-to meals your kids love! Perhaps we can come up with a menu of crowd-pleasing school lunches...

From trekking through Nepal and enduring the cold in Antarctica to immersing themselves in Aboriginal culture in the Australian Outback, their epic retirement proves that age is no barrier to discovery. Just as Sir Edmund Hillary pushed the limits of exploration, residents of his namesake village continue to chart their own extraordinary journeys.
“We’ll keep travelling for as long as we can,” says Rodnie.

What's involved?
📌 Deliver your weekly print edition throughout your delivery area.
📌 Sell advertising spaces in each edition to local businesses.
📌 Receive a fresh batch of printed editions delivered to your door, ready for distribution each week.
Potential Earnings:
If all 32 advertising spaces are sold at full price, this area could generate a monthly turnover of around $5,400 + GST. Currently, I am sitting at $1,900+ GST
With other free newspapers closing down, there is a real opportunity to attract new advertisers. Currently, this edition covers Palmerston North, Feilding, Ashhurst, Woodville, Pahiatua, and Dannevirke. There is also the option to split the edition into two to increase potential earnings or remove it from some of the locations.
Why Coffee News?
🏡 Work from home at times that suit you.
🤝 Build rewarding relationships with local businesses and your community.
📢 Promote community events in the "What's Happening" section—event organizers will contact you for publicity.
💡 Help small businesses with affordable advertising and weekly exposure to local customers.
If you're a people person with the drive to succeed, this could be your chance to continue growing something amazing in Manawatu & Tararua!
Why am I selling?
I am working through some health issues and also own another edition. I’m looking to downsize my commitments.
