Poll: Have you ever visited Hockin House?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Future ownership of Hamilton’s historic Hockin House beside Waikato Hospital is up in the air, with potential for it and ongoing costs to end up in the city council’s hands.

The heritage-listed and “very special” Hockin House, built in 1893, is a late Victorian era dwelling that was the residence of the first four superintendents of the hospital.

Poll: Do you think we need another major player in the supermarket sector?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

This is not a drill. Nicola Willis is on a mission. The finance minister and still relatively new “economic growth” minister has lobbed a huge bomb into the groceries sector: the threat of de-mergers.

In ordinary parlance, Woolies and Foodstuffs might be compelled to sell of some of their supermarket brands or split up their wholesale and retail operations.
