People Breaking the lockdown ruls

Russell from Paraparaumu

Its day 14 of our great and fab lock down 1/2 through here are some of my thoughts on this mater.
We have a bunch of really dumb people out their who go and play rugby, take a bike ride, go surfing or have a hug party. Not to mention what some of our Members of Parliament are saying or doing.
They will simple extend the 4 weeks to 6 or 8 weeks or more until they can be totally absolutely sure that Convid 19 is under control and the risk community based transmission is close enough to ZERO.
I know that the vast majority of KIWIS are following the simple rules of staying in your bubble and only go out when its essential.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
