However, critics say they’re dangerous and people are injured by them every year. Fans, on the other hand, argue that all fun involves some level of risk, it just needs to be managed safely.
Last year, we saw a 23% drop in the number of fireworks-related injury claims (171 claims across 2017 versus 223 across 2016). What do you think? Should personal fireworks be banned? Click here for advice on how to use fireworks responsibly.

Hi everyone, Matt here. I want to know everyone's opinion on this matter as well. I am a ANZ customer.

Has anyone seen around the West Auckland area, especially around Swanson Area that there is no ANZ ATM machines anywhere to be seen. I used to go the Swanson Rd to get money out of the machine. Now when you go there, the machine is no longer available. Look I understand in years ahead, we all will live in a cashless society where everything you pay will now be done on a smartphone. But there I'm sure will be flaws with this as well.
The only viable ATM ANZ machines are on Lincoln Rd or in Henderson. This is just getting harder for anyone to get money out of any machine. Well if I mean ANZ are going to get rid of the ATM machines, they will have to put something in to replace the machines or put another pay wave machine for ordinary ATM cards as well.
Yes there are currently paywave machines in NZ. I think these are only for credit card and debit cards only I think but for the ordinary ATM cards, these won't work.
Are there other ANZ customers like myself who have had ATM issues just finding a ANZ ATM machine in your local area just to get cash out from your local machine?
Very frustrated.
Matt
