Over-charged rubbish tags

Rumiko from Henderson

Just now, I bought 2 orange rubbish tags and a 1 litre milk from Gull on Swanson Road. I realized they charged me $4.50 per tag. Normally, I pay only $3.80 per tag from the supermarket. $3.80 is already a high price and Gull charged me 70c more for each tag. So I went back to the store and asked … View moreJust now, I bought 2 orange rubbish tags and a 1 litre milk from Gull on Swanson Road. I realized they charged me $4.50 per tag. Normally, I pay only $3.80 per tag from the supermarket. $3.80 is already a high price and Gull charged me 70c more for each tag. So I went back to the store and asked for a refund for one tag only as I need one for tomorrow. However, they refused to refund me. I'm wondering if this is allowed or if it is okay to sell council tags for more than $3.80? I feel like I have been ripped off.

Peter McRae is calling on authorities to promptly address “regulation, categorisation and commercial concerns” regarding the importation of E-scooters.

In a publicly-released commentary, Mr McRae identified issues in three specific areas:

- Appropriate design and resulting classification of E-scooters as vehicles for transportation, not toys.

- Risk management for the expected increase in future motorised scooter imports.

- Need for greater regulation and systemic collaboration to ensure rider safety (via helmets, speed, etc.) as well as ensure public safety.

National Road Carriers Association and the Ports of Auckland are combining forces to promote change in the supply chain to improve delivery times and prevent delays.

This initiative has come about because of supply chain capacity issues which were highlighted following an accident at Ports of Auckland in August. Imported freight has taken longer to deliver and exporters have encountered delays getting their goods away, leading to frustration all round.
