overseas and other unwanted cellphone calls

Tracey from Parklands - Marshlands

We have received several overseas calls that indicate they are from (Australia) when we answered one of these call a male speaking with a heavy ethnic dialogue of that possibility from the Phillipines tried to sell something. Would not take NO for an answer.

We have started blocking these calls.

If in doubt don’t answer if it is important they will leave a number you should google any messages to see if the company and contact details are legitimate if not suggest you block these calls.

Never call back as there is a charge associated with this.

Any calls you get from your service providers you have not initiated yourself HANG UP.

Contact any company directly and discuss what took place.

We turn our land line volume off and use answering machine to check legitimate messages.

We hope you find this information useful.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

Leslie from Avonside - Dallington

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
