Supporting locals
Zealandier Tours is up and running tours again. First one is on Sunday. Our first scheduled day trips have filled very quickly from our regular travel club members - but we still have some spaces on a few trips. Our aim is to support locals before we venture away from the area. Our next available Support Locals trip is on June 26th and we have another scheduled for July 12th.
Keep an eye in the Weekend Sun classifieds for our upcoming trips. Our Travel Club catalogue is still a work in progress at present and should be ready for distribution at end of month. If you wish to join our travel groups for outings just contact us and we will add you to our data base and post out a catalogue in due course. If you want more details about trips give us a call - we are all back in the office now. Our Travel Club is free to join - and we offer Door to Door Pick Up / Drop Off service for our tours.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
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?
-
32.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

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.
