Brand, marketing and communications director Sally Feinson said they were participating in the so-called "circular economy". "A circular economy is an ecosystem designed to keep items in use for as long as possible," she said. "Based on our recent research, we estimate the value of Aotearoa's circular economy to be a whopping $5 billion." The survey found two-thirds (63 percent) of people were selling items to save money, while about 42 percent thought the rising cost of living made buying and selling second-hand items more attractive. On average, respondents had 20 unwanted items ready to be sold for a total of $1300.

Hopkins then got a Lime bike and went to the address thinking if something did go wrong he could just bike off. Once he got down to the end of the street he saw someone shining what appeared to be a torch. Hopkins says police told him the groups had filmed several assaults and uploaded them to a private group. When he puts the bins out at night he fears he will be attacked and has regular flashbacks of the offending. The victims were "lured" to areas late at night and then attacked by members of the group.

The 43-year-old’s offending was described as “deliberate and gratuitous” and the court heard he “blamed” the boy for the offending and had shown no remorse. The man and one of the women arrived late to the hui and a social worker spoke with them at their vehicle. The little boy was covered in bruises, lacerations and burns. She said he had a lengthy criminal history including family violence - but no previous convictions relating to child abuse. Justice Dunningham said the man “blamed” the little boy’s behaviour for the abuse and did not acknowledge his own actions.

The housing market bulls could happily trumpet a 23% year-on-year rise in mortgage advances for the January 2024 month, according to new figures. They saw their share of mortgage money hit an all-time high in December of 25.2%. The January 2024 figures show that in the month the FHB grouping took $822 million of mortgage money, which is 24.1% of the total. On an annual basis the investor grouping went from a 32% share of the total mortgage monies advanced, to just 17% last year. The FHB grouping, which long languished behind investors in terms of the monthly total of borrowing, has now had a higher monthly total than the investors each month since March 2022.
