Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

This has to be even better news as new cases have dropped even further nationally, despite reports in the media saying there was another rise.
1761 has not been seen for a long while, perhaps the cold weather is actually helping? Unlike the flu.
Let us keep up the good work and stay safe.

Neighbourly hopes to keep you safe by keeping you informed of the latest scams circulating. This week, we are sharing two common text message scams:

NZTA / Waka Kotahi scam:
- The scam is a text message saying it's from New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and it encourages the recipient to pay an overdue road toll by visiting a fake website, threatening to take the matter to court within 15 days if they don’t pay up.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- While it is not the first time toll payments have been utilised by scammers, the threat of court action could see more people fall victim.
- The sender will either be a unknown phone number or unknown email address.
Want to report one of these scams? Do so, on Netsafe

NZ Post scam:
- This scam arrives by test message and says it's from NZ Post.
- The premise is that delivery of your parcel was unsuccessful so in order to rearrange delivery. you must click on a link to give your correct address.
- The aim is to trick people into giving away their personal details or pay them money.
- NZ Post advises people not to click the link, but to report the message to the Department of Internal Affairs by forwarding it to 7726.
Think you may have fallen prey to a scam? Get in touch with Netsafe or contact your bank if it involved your bank details.

Remember, if you didn't expect the message and you are now asked to share personal details or money, then stop contact and seek advice elsewhere.

Feel free to share any below that you've encountered recently. This may help others across the country be aware.

The council have circularised a survey looking for thoughts and ideas to see if there are better ways to control dogs in Christchurch.
You can find the Survey on their site.
"Survey on rules that apply to dogs in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula".

I have years been trying to get the council to remove the requirement for a leash and leave it to the owner to keep their dog under control.
For those who might be interested this is a summary of my thoughts on this topic:
There should be one overall bylaw relating to dogs being 'under effective control'. or similar

It might require a name change as some people are confused with the terminology "effective control". eg. "Dogs must be under full control"
If a dog is breaking any bylaw, the owner has not got their dog 'under full control'. Pretty hard to argue with that logic, unless it is retaliating to another dog.
The individual dog owner decides what is best for controlling their dog, voice command, lead, muzzle or whistle.
These can be dependent on Breed of dog, age, mobility etc but the owner should know what is the best method to keep their dog safe and control it accordingly.
This removes the need for the council to tell owners to use leads, and then are required to specify how long the lead should be, now asking us if we need a smaller lead ......!!!
The council need to post what the potential problems for any area are, Nesting birds etc and 'Dogs under full control is on ALL signs. At this point, the owner can decide if their dog can be controlled and by what means.
Good dog owners want what is best and safe for their dog, bad dog owners will take no notice of any laws anyway, so there are no laws that will fix all the issues.
I am more than happy to answer questions on my thoughts as I do know it takes some getting around, removing laws to potentially let dogs run around more without being harassed by people telling us we need to have our dog on a lead when the dog is not bothering anyone or dog.
This brings me to my whole point, a dog must be doing something wrong before it can be reported. Not for just being off a lead and behaving well.
