Disabled Employment is an information website giving easy access to the correct information, we also have a work wanted page and would encourage people to contact us via facebook to get listed, I am a disabled website designer and SEO expert, surprisingly disabled employment has proved hard to optimise for search results.
So abilities not disabilities was launched, this will also focus on employment or overwise sharing the things disabled people do. The plan to promote their abilities in a very positive way.
My name Glen McMillan I am disabled and work from a home office designing websites, partly because of my disability I struggle to get work.
Practice makes perfect so while I have not enough paid work I create my own network of websites, I am an expert with 30 years experience, I have had windpipe operations my voice is affected makes getting work over the phone difficult. it's all about being seen and getting known I need work as well.
My business is Website Design Whangarei

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.

Some Choice News!
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!
