Make it a NOvember
Halloween has just finished, and there are going to be fireworks next week, followed by the inexorable move into the festive season and Summer holidays.
But are you ready for it?
If you're seeing what I'm seeing, then there's lots of temptation out there
Temptation to eat too much, at BBQs, family gatherings, work and social functions
Temptation to drink too much, at those same events
Temptation to spend too much, paying for all that food and drink, whilst also buying gifts for friends and whanau at Christmas
Temptation to smoke or vape too much, to deal with the stress of all the above
Temptation to get angry with yourself or others because all this is happening
Temptation to get fearful for the future
Temptation to work too many hours, just to pay for it all
...and so on...
Did you know there's a simple, two letter word to describe a process that can help you to deal with all this and more?
The word is "NO"

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
