When thinking about your domestic travel, where do you start?
Reply, with where you book?

Currently we are unraveling travel with the best interests of our clients at heart and in all honesty it has been a slow process, so thank you for your patience.
I saw that the Stuff Travel Reporter @LornaThornber asked you how post COVID domestic travel has/hasn't been for you. Out of curiosity I read a few comments and the general feel, is that it's not affordable to travel in New Zealand, preventing many from venturing off. Us Kiwi’s love travelling abroad, but depending on where and when you go and the experience you want the cost varies, which is no different when it comes to domestic travel. Not going to deny that New Zealand on whole is an expensive country but by taking advantage of the special offers as they become available can get you on that much needed or wanted holiday. Think about your locally owned and operated travel agency – helloworld Travel Whangarei! We can help you get moving in our own backyard.

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
