Awful experience and result at BNZ Johnsonville

Lydia from Hataitai

Oh my goodness! Just come across the most awful thing #BNZ did to my poor mum! Last thurs she had to make a deposit of a lot of coins for someone at Johnsonville #bnz And they completely stuffed it up! She went up to this teller and the first thing the teller did was sigh and act like it was this huge thing putting her out. Then marched mum up to an atm in the branch and started briskly feeding the coins into it. The atm said it could only accept small amounts of coins but the teller just ignored this (and mum) and fed almost all them in whilst making mum feel like she was such a hassle to her for bringing coins into a branch!

Then a nicer teller had to take over and realised what had happened and tried to stop the transaction on the ATM BUT IT WAS TOO LATE!!! It spat out a receipt for only 20% of the coins!!! Mum and her friend had counted everything before she went in and knew exactly how much. Then #bnz acted like it wasn’t their problem and wouldn’t even give mum a receipt for the proper amount. Since then they’ve been giving her the run around saying they have no control over the ATMs in their branches!!!!

SHAME ON YOU #BNZ for such poor behaviour!!!!! it was at your branch and your teller, it doesn’t matter what machines you use in your branch, you take responsibility as you managed and did this with YOUR tellers in YOUR branch!

It’s now five days later and the money still hasn’t turned up in the BNZ account and everyone is so upset!!!!!! Just so awful and such a bad experience.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

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?

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

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?
