Petone motels lose contract for emergency housing
The Ministry of Social Development had stopped using three Petone motels after their clients were found living in substandard conditions.
MSD regional commissioner Gagau Annandale-Stone said the Midway Pacifica Lodge, along with the Du Pont Motel and Settlers Motor Lodge, were inspected following complaints. The three motels are all located along Hutt Rd and operate under a shared management team. “We found several issues of concern about the standard of accommodation provided, and repair work to be done.”
Annandale-Stone said the ministry expected clients in emergency housing to receive the same level of service as regular motel guests.

Scamwatch: How to recognise, avoid and act against scams.
A scam or a fraud is any scheme designed to con you out of money or steal your personal information. If someone contacts you unexpectedly – whether over the phone, through the post, by email, on a website, in person or on social media – always consider the possibility that it may be a scam.
Scammers target lots of people, often for small amounts of money. They constantly evolve their approach making scams harder to spot. Most scams come from overseas, but they may pretend to be locally based — from a reputable company, bank, or government agency, or even from your friends on social media if your account has been hacked. It is very difficult to get your money back once it is sent overseas.
Scams hurt us all. You can protect yourself and others by learning how to spot scams, share what you see and report them.
