I couldn't understand her accent, but I think she said she was from Spark. She asks you to press (1) for and (2) for.....Please hang up immediately. If you get involved in pressing the buttons, you may find you've encumbered yourself with a huge telephone bill. Anyone else had the call?
This one is a warning that supposedly your car rego is about to expire and you had better send them some money straight off.
Fake NZTA email - not too badly done except, in my case, the sender's email address was in the Japan domain. Also, the amount was a silly 80odd dollars.
Be careful … View moreThis one is a warning that supposedly your car rego is about to expire and you had better send them some money straight off.

I've tried to renew my car's rego online yesterday evening. Could load the nzta website, but the page to renew registration would not load.

I dropped them a line about this ..."we are currently experiencing high volumes of email, we may get back to you in 9 days" ... yeah, right, that will be useful.
This morning their whole website appears to be down. So if you need to register your car, you may have to go to the testing station, assuming *they* can get in.

Story below.
Many of the wards and corridors at all four Northland DHB Hospitals have been blessed with local art pieces over the years, which help create a more welcome atmosphere for our patients and their whanau when they spend time with us.
Most recently, Whangarei Hospital has been gifted works from Whangarei photographer Glen McMillan and Tauranga artist Sky…
Glen's images of Tui and Starling were shot in his backyard from his wheelchair and have captured the birds' unique colours.
When Glen was just ten years old, he fell from his bicycle and spent almost four years in hospital. He now uses a wheelchair as his walking has been affected.
Now 61, Glen has led a successful, happy life and has owned several successful businesses, three boats, and many cars, some of which he has raced over the past 30 years.
After investing in some professional camera gear and a concrete path right around his home, Glen has been photographing the birds that spend time on his large section and in the eight-acre native bush reserve that backs onto his property.
He said he loves learning and being creative and is now selling his work as wall art on his online store - www.homedecorideas.co.nz...

Would you support the introduction of MMP to local body elections?
A former Labour minister has called on the government to implement MMP as the voting system for local body elections in a bid to 'fix' local government.
Peter Neilson, an economist, is a former Labour MP for Miramar, a Minister of Revenue, Works and Associate Minister of Finance. Neilson explains how MMP could have a positive impact on civic participation after data from Internal Affairs showed a decline in voter turnout.
Around four out of 10 New Zealanders on the electoral role turned out to vote in the last set of local elections. In comparison, around seven or eight out 10 voted in the general election last year.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.
Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .
