Buyer Beware
I recently purchased a second hand long line for my boat, but as this had a thin nylon backbone on a plastic reel I put on my Xmas wish list a cord backbone to replace this. This is the red cord most fishers are familiar with and is readily available from fishing tackle stores.
Unfortunately my wife who is not familiar with these went to Hunting and Fishing to try and purchase one. There she was told that these are not available and was instead sold at some expense another set of plastic reel with nylon line, hooks and clips. As I did not want any of these I took the offending item back to get a refund, but I was told that despite the staff getting things completely wrong WE COULD NOT GET OUR MONEY BACK, ONLY A CREDIT NOTE. My wife was then forced to buy at further expense a bait board for the boat, despite the sales person telling her they did not have any even though he was standing beside them.
So overall Hunting and Fishing showed an appalling lack of product knowledge and abysmal customer service. We will certainly never go back there again and I urge others to stay away as well, or at least be very very careful if they do purchase anything there.

What should the rules be for alcohol in public?
We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw
The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.
In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.
We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).
We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
