			<description><![CDATA[<p>Jon Duffy &amp; Sophie Richardson are joined by Consumer NZ advocate Aneleise Gawn. She talks us through the recently launched "Flight Rights" campaign and answers your airline related questions.</p><br><p>If your flight is delayed or cancelled for reasons within an airline’s control, such as staffing, operational or mechanical issues, you have rights under the Civil Aviation Act (CAA).&nbsp;But airlines aren’t required to tell you about these rights. Instead, they keep quiet, or worse, provide false or misleading information.&nbsp;And they’re not always upfront about the reason a flight is delayed or cancelled. This makes it almost impossible to work out what you’re entitled to. People are being left out of pocket and airlines are getting away with shirking their obligations under the law.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Enough is enough. We want action now.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Does sex come with consumer rights? The short answer is yes, if you pay for it.&nbsp;</p><br><p>In 2003 the&nbsp;‘Prostitution&nbsp;Reform Act’ squeezed through New Zealand parliament by just one vote! The result of that one vote is that it’s 100% legal to operate a brothel, work as a Sex Worker, or be a client.&nbsp;</p><p>The law reform was driven by the <a href="https://www.nzpc.org.nz/The-New-Zealand-Model" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NZ Prostitute Collective</a> with the aim of creating safer conditions for Sex Workers. According to studies by the <a href="https://www.otago.ac.nz/christchurch/otago018607.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">University of Otago</a> &amp; the <a href="https://prostitutescollective.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/report-of-the-nz-prostitution-law-committee-2008.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prostitution Reform Committee,</a> this has been a success.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Post&nbsp;decriminalisation the sex industry is treated – in law at least –&nbsp;just like any other business. This means, like other service providers the suppliers have obligations under the Consumer Guarantees and Fair-Trading Acts. If you go to a brothel and the service isn’t very good, can you complain and ask for your money back?&nbsp;</p><br><p>This gives rise to another&nbsp;question...&nbsp;Are those consumer rights fit for purpose, or is there an inherent tension between protecting the rights of workers and the rights of consumers?&nbsp;</p><p>To dive into this we hear from Dan* about his experiences as a client buying sex &amp; Madam Mary, the owner and manager of Wellington brothel <a href="https://funhouse.co.nz/media/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Funhouse</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For updates follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/consumernz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/consumernz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> or sign up to our mailing list <a href="https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Femail.consumer.org.nz%2FMDM3LU5OUi0zMTcAAAGBgtooiQ8GWTSiZAjngaHmHnBOU70ItOdLkgFTNPbWTgykrxtgvKiJwieOPMDIwcA5uXb_3J4%3D&amp;data=04%7C01%7Ctomr%40consumer.org.nz%7C58dcab4393a64f8a414008d9c58b9029%7Cbd8795abbafe451dac1c230bad1836c9%7C0%7C0%7C637758025507161453%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=78k5SbiCP%2F9nWvVAJM4zhtVcTB%2B8WxX2njiy3ox42jQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

The result of that one vote is that it’s 100% legal to operate a brothel, work as a Sex Worker, or be a client.&nbsp;</p><p>The law reform was driven by the <a href="https://www.nzpc.org.nz/The-New-Zealand-Model" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NZ Prostitute Collective</a> with the aim of creating safer conditions for Sex Workers. According to studies by the <a href="https://www.otago.ac.nz/christchurch/otago018607.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">University of Otago</a> &amp; the <a href="https://prostitutescollective.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/report-of-the-nz-prostitution-law-committee-2008.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Prostitution Reform Committee,</a> this has been a success.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Post&nbsp;decriminalisation the sex industry is treated – in law at least –&nbsp;just like any other business. This means, like other service providers the suppliers have obligations under the Consumer Guarantees and Fair-Trading Acts. If you go to a brothel and the service isn’t very good, can you complain and ask for your money back?&nbsp;</p><br><p>This gives rise to another&nbsp;question...&nbsp;Are those consumer rights fit for purpose, or is there an inherent tension between protecting the rights of workers and the rights of consumers?&nbsp;</p><p>To dive into this we hear from Dan* about his experiences as a client buying sex &amp; Madam Mary, the owner and manager of Wellington brothel <a href="https://funhouse.co.nz/media/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Funhouse</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For updates follow us on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/consumernz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/consumernz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> or sign up to our mailing list <a href="https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Femail.consumer.org.nz%2FMDM3LU5OUi0zMTcAAAGBgtooiQ8GWTSiZAjngaHmHnBOU70ItOdLkgFTNPbWTgykrxtgvKiJwieOPMDIwcA5uXb_3J4%3D&amp;data=04%7C01%7Ctomr%40consumer.org.nz%7C58dcab4393a64f8a414008d9c58b9029%7Cbd8795abbafe451dac1c230bad1836c9%7C0%7C0%7C637758025507161453%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=78k5SbiCP%2F9nWvVAJM4zhtVcTB%2B8WxX2njiy3ox42jQ%3D&amp;reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>We all have a vague sense that groceries are really expensive. If you’ve been around long enough you might even be thinking ‘it never used to be this way’. But are we really being charged too much? According to the Commerce Commission the answer may well be yes. For the last 12 months they’ve been conducting a market study into the grocery sector. They recently published their draft report, and its findings are pretty damning for the two big supermarket chains. Simply put, they believe a lack of competition in the sector is keeping prices high and profits large.

But are we really being charged too much? According to the Commerce Commission the answer may well be yes. For the last 12 months they’ve been conducting a market study into the grocery sector.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Is it harder than ever to buy your first home? To do that we're joined by Habitat for Humanity CEO <a href="https://habitat.org.nz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alan Thorp</a> &amp; Economist <a href="https://twitter.com/bernardchickey" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bernard Hickey</a>. Plus we hear from Wellingtonian Vladimir Zdravkovich on his never ending quest for home ownership. And Whangārei home owner James.</p><br><p>Stats NZ’s Housing in Aotearoa:2020 report shows home ownership rates have been falling since 1991 and recently hit a 70-year low. The average home in New Zealand now costs $906,532 –a 22% price increase from this time last year, according to CoreLogic’s June 2021 data. This home also requires a deposit of $181,306, $33,662 more than last year.</p><br><p>If you earn the average salary of $56,160 – and had that deposit a year ago – would now have to save 60% of your pre-tax salary to cover the increase. These numbers echo research that Consumer NZ has been undertaking. Our Sentiment Tracker found three out of five homeowners couldn’t afford to buy their house at its current valuation. James, a registered electrician from Whangārei purchased his home in 2018 for $450k. Since then, the property’s capital gains have exceeded his and his partner’s – a registered nurse – combined income.</p><br><p>But does it really matter if we own our own home? According to Habitat for Humanity chief executive Alan Thorpe the answer is yes. Tammy Ngawhika Hutchins is a prime example. In 2012, along with Habit for Humanity’s help, she got into her own home. She was determined to provide stability for her four children. Her kids had had hundreds of doctors' appointments for asthma, but after moving out of rentals – and into their own warm, dry home – their health improved dramatically. Habitat and other community housing providers are trying their best to provide affordable homes, but can only meet a small fraction of the demand. In the past 30 years, Habitat has housed 530 families. As house prices increase, Alan tells us that mission is just getting harder. But, what about the people who haven’t been quite so lucky?</p><br><p>Vladimir Zdravkovich moved to New Zealand 30 years ago with his parents, escaping from war-torn Yugoslavia. He’s been saving to buy a home for more than 10 years, but always feels like he has the deposit he needed a year or two ago. This feeling of futility isn’t unique to Vladimir. According to Consumer NZ’s Sentiment Tracker, 42% of non-homeowners feel completely locked out of the market. A further 20% said that they’re saving for a deposit but can’t catch up.</p><br><p>So, what is driving this house price unaffordability? According to economist Bernard Hickey, New Zealand has the perfect storm of low interest rates, tax-free capital gains, and high quantitative easing all combining to push up asset prices. Bernard doesn’t see much political will to solve this problem, but he does offer up a model solution: Christchurch. At $631,000 it has the cheapest average home price of the four major cities. He claims this is driven by the response to the 2011 earthquake, where the government suspended the Resource Management Act, built high- and medium-density housing, and invested heavily in infrastructure.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
