It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.

Hi neighbours, do you love Kmart?

Hundreds of thousands of inexpensive items that pass through the retail giant's checkouts every year, so it's only to be expected there will be recalls – Kmart even has a recalls page on its website, and there are 31 products on the list.

The $55 timber Occasional Chair is the latest casualty, although this is a withdrawal rather than a recall. We don't know the reason for its withdrawal, except Kmart says it is for "a potential quality issue". But what other products have been found wanting?

The controversial relocation of Christchurch's Citizens' War Memorial has received financial backing for a proposed move to Cranmer Square.

The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust (CEAT), set up to administer post-earthquake donations, has confirmed it will "support" the removal of the 82-year-old cenotaph, which has stood alongside Christ Church Cathedral since 1937, if resource consent is approved.

Moving the 300-tonne cenotaph is estimated to cost up to $1.5 million, but CEAT secretary Neil Cooper would not say how much the trust would cover "as we've not made this figure public yet".

Hi everyone,

AWESOME NEWS CAT AND OWNER HAVE BEEN REUNITED LAST NIGHT!
OWNER VERY GRATEFUL AS SHE HAS HAD THE KITTY FOR 12yrs.


I have had this little guy/girl think a Male..
around for awhile on and off and now has decided to stay around, over the last 3 weeks.

It has think winter coat on now. a white tuff on the chest. Not a kitten.
Has short little legs (kinda like munchkin breed) abit shy but after a bit of coaxing and feeding I can now pat it. This cat just melts, purrs very affectionate. But weary.
Haven't been able to catch to put in cat cage to do a microchip scan at vet.

We cant rehome it should we fail to locate owners, 2 out 4 in family have allergies, pushing my luck with the 1 we have.

Really wanting to help this little cat, it's cold, lives in lean to, sneaks inside when our cat goes out and sleeps behind furniture,

Let me know if maybe someone out would like to give it him a new home, if owners are not located???

Thanks.
