Poll: Should this gem be opened to the public or kept as a hard-to-find secret?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from

Hi neighbours,
A dangerous waterfall walk closed to the public for years could soon be open again.
Nestled 30 minutes drive from Tauranga on Omanawa Road sits a not-so-hidden gem that is attracting thousands of visitors each year, despite being closed off to the public for years.
Now Tauranga City Council is considering adding a $2.7m upgrade for the Omanawa Falls to their Long Term Annual Plan to improve accessways and unlock the location.

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.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
