Bodhi Revisited

David from Silverdale

Dear Neighbours,

I understand a public interest story about Bodhi’s untimely death will not appear in the local newspaper. Apparently a certain party does not want it published. Thank goodness for Neighbourly.

I have been open with all information relating to this event. In spite of strong feelings about what happened to Bodhi, I have tried to be reasonable and even-handed with the vet. I trust the local newspaper would have been as well ...and would have fairly represented the views of all sides. Is there a genuine reason why the wider public shouldn’t know about this story? Wouldn’t being aware of what could happen to a pet at a vet be in the public interest? Could it possibly save an innocent animal’s life? Isn’t this more important than money or reputation? And what happened to a free press? This doesn’t sound like New Zealand.

Should this story be on Facebook, Twitter and the whole wide-world of social media or should I let it go? What do my neighbours think?

Sincerely,
David

Effective governance in business is essential for long-term success

John from Warkworth

Effective governance in business is essential for long-term success, as it ensures transparency, accountability, and ethical decision-making.
At the heart of strong governance is a commitment to personal values such as integrity, fairness, and respect for stakeholders.
When leaders align their actions with these core values, they not only build trust and credibility but also create a sustainable foundation for growth and innovation.

By fostering a culture of responsibility, businesses can navigate challenges, adapt to change, and achieve lasting success.

Kmart duvet recall

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Kmart will be recalling a number of their Anko duvet sets.

What you need to know:
- The recall is involving Christmas-themed duvets: Mrs & Mrs Claus Reversible Queen Size Bed Quilt Cover Set and Christmas Elf Reversible Single Bed Quilt Cover Set
- A recall of the products began in Australia following health concerns from several families.
- One woman said she thought she was having a heart attack after using one of the products which smelt of diesel.
- One customer said she’d purchased the quilt covers and said they smelled like gas. Another mum said hers did not have that smell but claimed her son developed a rash that only went away when he stopped using the product.
- The product is no longer available for purchase on the Kmart website.

Regardless of whether you have experienced an issue, customers who have purchased this item may return the product to store for a refund.
