Bad Business

John from South Invercargill & Bluff

To every one whos reading this posts,my mother got discriminated againsts on Tuesday 10 December 2019,we had already booked into this hair dressing salon roughly 4 months ago,the owners never told us at the time they would not haircut,wash or dye my mothers hair, the owner came up to me and said we can not give your mum a hair cut,or wash and hair dyed,any more i said why,this is what he said to me and he was hesitating every time i asks him,he tried to uses the Health and Safety Act,Work Safe NZ,said he up lifted a lady from her Wheel Chair and went to put her in a chair for her hair to be washed and said he almosts dropped her,as he did with my mother lasts year 2018,that was not true i made the owner aware of that,my mum has a disability and is in a wheel chair,but can get out of it aided by myself and she can get into that chair for her hair to be washed and dyed,no Salon Staff has helped us,he goes on to say umm i mean when shes in the chair with her head tilted back with a towel on her chests,to stop water going on her,then when i took him to tasks on that umm i mean in cases you dropped your mum it wouldn't look good for him and his business,we have been with this Hair dressing Salon for years,my mums even had her hair washed and dyed by his staff quite a few times in the pasts,,all of a sudden he discriminates againsts an elderly lady with a disability in a wheel chair.and refuses her the services,the owner of that hair dressing salon has come out and told me to my faces we now wont haircut,wash and dyed any disability people in a wheel chair,i rang Work Safe NZ up and i told them what happen,they said we have been treated unfairly
.I have taken my Complaint to the Human Rights,the Newspaper,by law no bussiness is allowed to discriminate againsts any one its illegal,they are not allowed to discriminate againsts any one with a disability in a Wheel Chair,as this business has done,if im right its an offences,also under the Consumers Guarantees Act and the Fair Trading Act it is againsts the law to what they have done to my mother,she had to plead with them to cut her hair when i told her not to asks,
As i said by law i am not allowed to mention the Owners name or Business.
His Hair Salon is in that new places in Don st opposite the Auction Houses try 2/20 Don St
SO people take your business elses where he uses to be good onces

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
