HI everyone, I have taken this blurb from the Goldfern website.
Need a cost-effective yet quality lightweight (only 9.6kg) transit wheelchair that is easy to transport? The Goldfern (NZ) Lightweight Transit Wheelchair will fit your needs.
BENEFITS & FEATURES
LIGHTWEIGHT & STRONG: The quality reinforced frame is made of ultra-lightweight aluminium with a total chair weight of just over 9kg!
COMFORT: The soft, washable, breathable, and padded seat with back rest keeps the user comfortable even for longer periods. Low resistance solid tyres are stable and ultra-durable, making it easy to push this wheelchair without fear of punctures.
SAFETY: The brakes can be operated by the user at the rear wheels or by the attendant via the brakes on the handles. This feature is much safer for the user and the person pushing. The fitted safety belt can be used if needed when out and about to reassure the user.
EASY TO TRANSPORT: With smaller rear wheels and the clever space-saving folding handles, and at only 9.6kg, this wheelchair is super easy to fold to a very compact size. Perfect to fit in the boot of most cars.
ADJUSTMENT: The swing-away footrests allow for easier transfers as they can be moved completely out of the way or even removed. They are also height adjustable, allowing them to be set at the user's desired height.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
