18 October is an important day for all residents of Henderson. In fact it’s an important day for all New Zealanders…

Do you have an idea of what you would do if an earthquake were to strike today in Henderson? Does your family or your workplace have a plan for how they will respond?

All of New Zealand is at risk of earthquakes and all of our coastline is at risk of tsunami. We can’t predict when they will happen, but we can definitely take steps to protect ourselves and our family.

I wanted to get in touch with you today to let you know about our national earthquake drill and tsunami hīkoi. More than 600,000 New Zealanders have already signed up to take part in this year.

New Zealand ShakeOut, is being held at 9.30am on 18 October. It’s a chance for your school, business, household or organisation to practice the right action to take before, during and after earthquakes and tsunami.

Whether you’re a household, business, organisation or school, you can sign up to take part and find information on how to plan your drill, and how to hold a tsunami hīkoi if you’re in a coastal region.

If you haven’t already made an emergency plan with your household, check out happen.nz and work it out today.

We look forward to shaking out with you!

All the best,
Sarah Stuart-Black
Director of Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management

The supermarket's move is expected to remove 11.6 million straws from circulation and the waste stream each year. WOW.

If the warranty has ended, it doesn't mean your rights have!

Sacha Green from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand

When you buy goods you have rights that protect you even if the warranty has expired. A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these. This means a retailer can't just say you're out of luck because the warranty period has … View moreWhen you buy goods you have rights that protect you even if the warranty has expired. A warranty is extra to the protections in the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) and can’t override or replace these. This means a retailer can't just say you're out of luck because the warranty period has ended.

The CGA says that products have to be of an acceptable quality which means they must be fit for purpose (or do what they're made to do), last for a reasonable amount of time, be safe, and be free from any minor defects. What is “acceptable quality” is based on what you could reasonably expect taking into account things like the nature of the goods, what you paid for them, and any particular statements made about the goods.

If you have a problem with something you’ve bought and the warranty period has ended, you might still be entitled to have it repaired or replaced. Check out our information on your rights as a consumer or phone CAB on 0800 367 222.
