The owner wanted to spend $8,000 on a refit for his classic car, the bill came to $25,000.

Many New Zealanders have come against the same problem, if not in size but the issue of a bill being over what you thought you authorised.

Sue Chetwin from Consumer New Zealand talks to Mark about consumer rights.

    Mike's interview on the breastfeeding furore was well done. I find it disappointing though that the Breastfeeding Council couldn't concede that fathers being so intimately involved in their baby's life is a wonderful support for the mother and so special for the new family. My husband bottle fed our three infants their bed-time bottle with expressed breastmilk as his special time to connect without the women hovering about. Piri shows great example to other dads that they can be involved.

    Breast is best debate - I'm saddened that La Lache league have bullied the smoke free folk into taking out Piri Weepu's feeding his child a bottle - how do we not know it was breast milk in that bottle, his wife had lovingly expressed, so that Piri could have the special bonding time with his child that comes through feeding them?

    Unemployment does not give parents an excuse to abuse their children.

    CYFS needs an overhaul, they need an independant company monitiring there performance, you here of so many stories of children being reported being abused and they dont get back to them for a number of years, you also here here stories of CYFS getting involved in cases that are not for there dealling with, it is my belief that they should "NOT" have a priority list as "ALL" children are priority and that they should have a system that makes sure ALL cases are checked within a month of reporting.
