Hi Neighbours,

At Stuff we have a special partnership launching this week with MetlifeCare, where we get to showcase stories about folk living their best lives in retirement.

We think people of all ages will be interested in reading about the choices older people are making, and about special topics such as small space gardening, and the benefits of keeping moving as you age. And anyone who has lived through - or has picked up general knowledge about - the past five, six, seven or more decades in New Zealand, should have a go at our nostalgia quiz. It’s a fun one.

Today, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting & welcoming Kate Russell, CEO of Supply Nation, Jenny Wardrop, Interim Head of Membership Services at Supply Nation and Beau Hodge of Baidam Pty Ltd to The Pacific Business Hub.

Kate, her team & their delegation of First Nations businesses from Australia are here to attend the Amotai - Supplier Diversity NZ Summit. Supply Nation is the Australian leader in supplier diversity. They bring together the biggest national database of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with the procurement teams of Australia’s leading organisations to help them engage, create relationships and do more business. They currently work with 5,000 verified indigenous businesses.

We appreciate this opportunity to showcase our work & what we do to support Pacific businesses here in Aotearoa, NZ and sharing our plans for expansion into Australia and the Pacific region with Kate & guests.

This was also an amazing opportunity for some of our HUB Connect Pacific business members to sit & have a talanoa together & do a little bit of networking with our guests. Much gratitude to our members for taking time out of their business schedules to be with us 🙏🏽

We acknowledge Joe Fuavao & Philippa Hawken Senior BDMs from Australia Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) & Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) for facilitating this meeting. Faafetai mo le avanoa 🙏🏽

Police are warning people to be on alert for the latest round of email scams referencing Police and other justice agencies.

The email claims authorities have done a search of the email recipient’s computer and located explicit illegal material.

The recipient is directed to reply within 72 hours, or a warrant will be issued for their arrest. This email is a scam and anyone who receives it should not reply under any circumstances.

Although some versions of the email do not specifically reference money, other similar scams involve the recipient being issued a ‘fine’ when they respond.

While the nature and specific details of scams often varies, it’s important to note that Police and other government agencies will never contact you out of the blue and ask for your password, credit card or bank details.

Police have received several reports of this scam and enquires are underway.

Anyone who received this email can either forward the spam email to the Department of Internal Affairs directly at complaint@spam.govt.nz or use their online reporting portal: www.reportspam.co.nz...

Police recommend taking a cautious approach to unsolicited emails. Trust your gut instinct - if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

Information on other scams currently operating can be found on the Consumer Protection NZ website: www.consumerprotection.govt.nz...

Consumer Protection NZ, along with Netsafe, also provides helpful advice about keeping safe online.

Anyone who has received this email can report it to police online via www.police.govt.nz.... Please reference file number 240830/5842.
