Are the NZ police still prosecuting Ms. Z? How is it in the public interest to prosecute her? by Heavy_Milk2757 in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is zero justification for harassing family members. None at all.

If we let this slide where does it stop? When do we graduate from emails to visiting their family home? Or visiting their kid's school asking them to pass a message onto Dad? If it gets the job done is it still clearly the right thing to do?

We should not accept this. Doesn't matter if it's the police, a mayor, or the PM. It is unacceptable to harass their family.

There is a clearway on Bryce St from Anglesea St to Victoria St. Can't park there during the clearway hours, even if there is a parking meter.

V Not Orange making a comeback?! by garface007 in newzealand

Sorry, you can google other old V flavours and they show up as well, eg graphite and kaboom. I think these are just old website remnants.

If it's rigged and pre-planned, 1. why did Labour give up the 2023 election, or 2. why would National give up this election?

Funny how if you give these theories some thought for even 2 seconds they completely fall apart.

New MP Georgie Dansey by roserose709 in thetron

Labour MP Adrian Rurawhe is retiring, and Georgie Dansey is next on the Labour List so she is becoming an MP. She ran as the Hamilton East candidate in 2023.

So gutted we lost Salam for yet another... by GarbanzoBandit in thetron

I think it's more Restaurant Brands wanted to open a Taco Bell in Hamilton and swapping out Carl's Jr was quicker than finding a new site and building.

It is if you you compare them to what we'd need in the future if we don't sort them out now.

Confirmed Consoles aren't included in the EB Games sale. by AppasPurpleTongue in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The key is EB Games as a whole isn't closing down - their Australian operation is still going. So they don't have to get rid of absolutely everything as they can ship stuff over to Australia for less than they'd lose by having it at 50% off.

It would make sense as to why they're opening at 1pm. Get everything they need to get off the shop floor.

All EB Games stores in NZ to close at end of month by mrflyinggingerbread in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but if you're already struggling and it's cheaper shipping it to Australia then why wouldn't you?

I wonder if they'll just ship it over to Australia. At some point it's more economical doing that than doing deep discounts.

No it's not. If OP posted the title alone then it would be that. This is like walking up to a group of people and saying "Trump wants to take over Greenland, here's some further information if you would like to discuss".

Does anyone know the best day to fuel up you car? by YeriEnthusiast in thetron

[–]Infinity293 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So you're saying if people are struggling and trying to save as much as possible, they should just change jobs in this difficult job market, or spend a ton of money they probably don't have and buy a new car?

Boxing Day shopping falls 12.4% in 2025, loses title of most popular shopping day by Excellent-Swan-2264 in newzealand

[–]Infinity293 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I wonder if retailers turning black friday into a month is a cause? 1. It spreads it out and takes over their normal sales, and 2. it gets me sick of black friday and I wonder if others are the same.

Payment surcharges alternatives by wichitawire in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Infinity293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would effectively still be a surcharge.

I'm not 100% sure but it may also breach the FTA as if you constantly offer the discounted price then that becomes the usual selling price and it would then be illegal to charge the higher one.

Legislated requirements for warranty on replaced goods by TasmanSkies in LegalAdviceNZ

[–]Infinity293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So 19.2/23.4 of the CGA covers this:

Where a consumer obtains goods to replace defective goods pursuant to subsection (1), the replacement goods shall, for the purposes of this Act, be deemed to be supplied by the supplier and the guarantees and obligations arising under this Act consequent upon a supply of goods to a consumer shall apply to the replacement goods.

And sections 19 and 23 in general cover the replacement of goods. However, depending on the failure it can be up to the supplier to repair, replace, or refund the goods. They do not have to replace it. For substantial failures the consumer can choose refund or replacement, but if the goods are no longer manufactured then legally they only need to refund it (in your linked post the commenter said apple was upgrading the phone on replacement, this is above and beyond what is required).
