Don’t know what your consumer rights are? Consumer Man and Purchase Woman to the rescue!

Meet the consumer heroes, Consumer Man and Purchase Woman. They want to give you tips that you can use to power up your consumer knowledge, and become a confident consumer. They are part of a new campaign from the government’s Consumer Protection team.

You’ll see Consumer Man and Purchase Woman featuring in print and digital ads and on social media with general messages about consumer awareness, as well as advice about specific topics like buying a motor vehicle, understanding the Consumer Guarantees Act and identifying frauds and scams.

You can watch their Faulty Product video.

If you know your rights when buying goods and services, you can be more confident about dealing with any problems that might occur after the sale.

By knowing your consumer rights you can manage tricky situations like :

returning a faulty product
buying online
changing your mind after a door to door sale
If you aren’t sure of your rights (or obligations) when goods or services you’ve paid for aren’t quite right, you can always contact your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau for information and advice.

The cats turned up about 8 months ago and we couldn't find the owner and now the female has given us some kittens.
We would love for the two adult cats to go together as they are great friends, but are open to anything, as long as they all go to great, caring homes.

Hi everyone,

The Halswell Liaison group meeting for April is Tuesday 11th at Te Hapua. We will once again have 2 meetings:

Lunchtime - 12.30pm - Piharau Room
Evening - 7.30pm - Te Hapua (Hao room) This meeting is after Library hours so please come to the front entrance and we can let you in.

This month we are starting to think about the future and what we would like Halswell to look like in 5, 10, 15 years time if there were no barriers (like time, money, volunteers etc). From there we can begin to draw up action plans of what is possible, what the priorities are and what we can begin to work on this year.

We will also look at the best way to prioritise those hopes and goals for future meetings

Please remember to invite anyone you think should or may like to join the conversation and if you are unable to make the meetings this month but have some burning ideas to share, please feel free to email me so we can add them into the mix on the day

Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday
