A man claiming to be a former employee of Noel Leeming is speaking out over what he claims are unethical sales practices at the retail chain.

He alleges salespeople are being sneaky about selling extended warranties on goods purchased by its customers.

Customers who want to cancel an extended warranty sold as part of a discounted "package deal" could potentially run into issues with salespeople if they try to get it refunded, he says.

OPINION: Jacinda Ardern is wrong about her own hate speech law. Completely and utterly wrong.

Not only is the Prime Minister wrong about the basic facts of the proposal, she was wrong to shut down debate on hate speech on The AM Show this morning with her glib, inaccurate dismissals.

Earlier this year, Stuff reported that New Zealand and the United States had been on the cusp of starting talks on a free trade agreement in 2020– a top policy goal for New Zealand since the 1930s.

Newly released documents show just how close those talks came – before coming unstuck at the final hurdle.

In a meeting room, somewhere in New York City in 2019, Donald Trump turned away from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to speak to his officials with a look of urgency.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta says she raised the human rights situations in Xinjiang and Hong Kong "in a very general nature" with her Chinese counterpart during a virtual meeting on Tuesday. 

The dialogue came as New Zealand signed a statement at the United Nations Human Rights Council expressing grave concern about the abuses and calling for "immediate, meaningful and unfettered access" to Xinjiang for independent observers.
