If you think you've been exposed to hepatitis C at any time, now is the time to have a test.

Hepatitis C is a silent killer. 1 in a 100 Kiwis have it but most don''t know. You can have it for years with vague symptoms like tiredness or brain fog but it can progress to liver cancer. Now there is a simple 8 week cure free from your GP. Get tested, get treated, get cured.

It's Auckland's home of rugby and cricket, and now Eden Park can be your home for a night.
Airbnb has released a new glamping service which allows guests to spend the night in the stadium.
The new accommodation domes are available all year round, including match days.
The specially-designed domes are located in the north-eastern corner of the stadium and are fully furnished with high-tech appliances and ensuite bathrooms.
The future of Eden Park has been in doubt with councils, residents and sports teams battling over restrictions and costs, but the park's CEO, Nick Sautner, says the new glamping experience will add to the stadiums unique appeal.
"Eden Park is a strategic asset for New Zealand as well as a community asset for Auckland, and we look forward to providing unforgettable experiences around the clock," he said.
The cost of a night's accommodation, which includes a stadium tour, starts at $450.

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.
