World Boxing Hall of Famer and World Good Bloke – Azumah Nelson and A. Peacock Under the Mirabeau bridge flows the Seine And our loves Must I remember them Joy always followed pain The night falls and the hours ring The days go away I remain Hand in hand let us stay face to face […]
Last year the New Zealand government passed an act of parliament called the Retail Payment System Act. https://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2022/0021/latest/whole.html The purpose of the act – which is a law – was to stop unscrupulous traders from charging extortionate merchant fees to their customers that pay by credit card.

As we have said time and time again, Andrew ‘The Canary’ Fitzgerald is the dodgiest syndicator in New Zealand. Calling him a syndicator is even a stretch, because his Off N Racing outfit is not registered as one and doesn’t comply with either the financial or racing rules and laws, despite purporting to. Complaints about […]
