Labour is promising an end to expensive fees for things like paywave and card transactions.

The party wants to regulate Merchant Service Fees (MSF), which are high in New Zealand compared to other countries such as Australia.

These are fees charged by banks for services including card transactions and paywave, and force retailers to either absorb the hefty cost themselves, or pass it on to consumers.

More than 100 protesters have gathered to stop the removal of native trees in Auckland, with one man chaining himself to a digger.

For more than 70 days, Save Canal Road Native Trees group have occupied an area of Canal Rd in Avondale.

On Wednesday, veteran protester Steve Abel, who was previously almost hit by one of the trees as it fell down, said up to 200 people were at the site after hearing police were on their way and contractors planned to cut down trees on Wednesday.

About half a dozen people were in the trees and protester Ken Sparks had used duct tape to secure himself to a digger on a truck so it couldn’t get to the site.

Abel said people were chanting and calling on Auckland Council to “step up” and stop the trees from being cut down.

Auckland’s Laneway music festival will not go ahead this year as organisers “do not believe we can operate to our full capabilities.”

In a statement, they said: “After much deliberation, we are very disappointed to announce that Laneway Festival Auckland will not be taking place in Summer 2021.

“The current circumstances surrounding border closures and the unpredictability of future Covid-19 outbreaks have created an extremely tough environment for festivals

The festival was postoned until 2022 and organisers were “sending our love and support to all our loyal crew and suppliers who we hope to see again, along with all the punters, in summer 2022.”

Laneway, which has run for the past 11 years, usually features major international musicians as headliners; last January’s festival was led by performances from English acts The 1975, Charli XCX, and Ruel.

How does your houseplant collection help you?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing
