Scam email obstensibly from NZTA
I have received a scam email that looked like it came from NZTA reminding me that my car needed to be registered. It didn’t name me, or my car and it had the wrong amount due ($74.95). It looked very legitimate on first viewing.
The email address (when it was extended) was in fact a Spark address.
It gave options to click on to renew, put on hold, unsubscribe and contact us.
I have notified NZTA, Spark and Netsafe.
If you get it, put it straight into your junk mail and block the sender, if you can.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
