The Trusts Monopoly
This looks like an interesting place. Of course they are located just outside the Trusts boundary because they wouldn't be allowed to operate inside it.
A perfect example of how the Trusts monopoly holds back the hospitality industry and limits the options for West Aucklanders.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?
A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
