Ha just watching news on people and visitors leaving behind some human waste and ask people to use the toilets..well they should make more toilets along the way,1 or 2 is no where enough,its simple !
Most walking tracks even here in waikane have nothing so what they expect let alone up and down the country,as for some toilets that are in use like otaki beach for example should be bulldozed and clean and fresh ones built,I did need to visit here one day and smelt like gaint urine pit and I went elsewhere,,,build more Toilets and cut the crap,your the ones in charge so build more,,sure its bit hard to get in some locations but what you paided for,use a helicopter like you do for other things ,you want nice clean tracks put a toilet there,no brainer idea,,my 1 cent on that and sure most will agree,most coastal areas dont have any toilets but you expect everyone to wee or poo in a bag or something,,we all human and have to go sometimes
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.
