March is Glaucoma Awareness Month
Glaucoma Awareness Month will turn awareness into action. Our goal: empower more New Zealanders to have an eye health check and raise vital funds to support the work needed to prevent avoidable blindness.
Donate what you feel to get a Gift of Sight pack today. The pack lets families see vision loss firsthand with glaucoma simulation glasses and educational materials. It also prompts action with a voucher for a half-priced eye health check at Matthews Eyecare, OPSM or Specsavers, valid during March 2026.
Early detection saves sight, independence, and the lives people love. Make a donation of your choosing today.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

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.
