The Commerce Commission is prosecuting Vodafone for six breaches of the Fair Trading Act, claiming it misled consumers in broadband and mobile phone advertisements.

The commission claimed Vodafone misrepresented the coverage of its wireless broadband network in an advertising campaign that ran for 18 months till April last year, the size of its 3G network, and the price of some mobile data services.

Vodafone said it had never deliberately misled customers and had addressed each of the concerns when raised.

New assistance for victims of serious crime and their families has been welcomed but some say it is far too little.

Justice Minister Simon Power announced the new measures at the Victim Support Conference in Wellington earlier today. .

Paul Kuchenbecker – whose son Karl was killed by parolee Graeme Burton in hills close to Lower Hutt in January 2007, while Burton was on parole – said today’s support was not enough.

Additional support will also be available for victims of sexual violence and other serious crime.

“I know it’s not all about money but at the same it takes the stress off that person, who is grieving already, to not have to worry about financial problems.

Families should be given $50,000 up front, similar to what was offered in New South Wales, to pay for funeral and associated costs and other financial burdens that arose from a murder, Mr Kuchenbecker said.

“It’s not their fault, it’s not the victim’s fault, it’s directly related to the Government and its policies of letting people out when they shouldn’t be let out.”

However, Victim Support chief executive Tony Paine said today’s announcement was good in the current economic environment and he was “pretty happy” with the ongoing programme. I believe the Government should front up.

“It’s up to society not to leave them out of pocket,” Mr Paine told .

Victims were offered emotional help through Victim Support and got physical support but were often left financially disadvantaged, he said.

The court may be in a different town, victims have to travel to the court, pay for accommodation, arrange for childcare and take time off work.

As well as the obvious funeral and loss of income costs victims often wanted to be at court hearings of the accused, he said.

Sensible Sentencing Trust national spokesperson Garth McVicar said Mr Power’s announcement was an acknowledgement and a start.

Sensible Sentencing Trust national spokesperson Garth McVicar said Mr Power’s announcement was an acknowledgement and a start.

Rethinking Crime and Punishment’s Kim Workman said the today’s announcement was “encouraging” and “very promising”.”

The new initiatives were about moving victims to the centre of the justice system, he said.

“Clearly there’s effort made to providing financial support.

There had been little focus on victim rights until the Victims’ Rights Act in 2002 and since then “some remarkable progress was made on those issues”, he said.”

The announcement today included:

* Families of homicide victims being able to receive $124 a day for up to five adult members to attend High Court proceedings;

Air and sea searches this evening failed to turn up any sign of eight people reportedly seen in heavy seas on a dinghy and kayaks off the Otago coast.

An eyewitness had seen the group of four kayaks and four people in a rubber dinghy head out about midday today at Kaka Point, 23km southeast of Balclutha, Rescue Co-ordination Centre New Zealand spokesman Lindsay Sturt said.Conditions were poor with strong winds and a heavy swell. .Mr Sturt said no one had been reported missing and if the eight were caught out at sea it was likely aircraft would have located them. We just haven’t heard anything at all.”We’re just looking for information from anyone that might be able to tell us that these people are missing.”Anyone who was aware of the group in question was urged to contact police, who had been involved in the search.

.Searchers would consider overnight how to approach the situation in the morning

Light-fingered shoppers who dare to pocket goods from Farmers stores are being stung with a civil fee before they enter a courtroom.

A shoplifting case heard in the Palmerston North District Court – where the defendant’s identity was suppressed – raised an eyebrow of Judge Chris Somerville when it was found a penalty had already been imposed.

It was enough for him to discharge the woman without conviction, because he believed she had already been significantly punished.

Judge Somerville was surprised to hear the woman, who pleaded guilty to shoplifting a $20 bottle of nail polish from Broadway Avenue Farmers, had paid a $290 civil recovery fee to the company. .

Farmers Trading Company risk and loss prevention manager Philip Morley refused to comment on the details of the “fairly tight” fee policy, saying it was “sensitive information”.

Farmers was the only company she knew of that used the fee system which was introduced after court sentences failed to fully cover losses.

Retail security consultant Lynda West said civil recovery fees were needed for retailers “fighting a losing battle” in recovering costs incurred from shoplifters.

Court imposed punishments were not a deterrence, whereas the civil recovery fee “will help prevent some offenders from doing it”.

With a minimum of two staff members detaining each offender and time spent inspecting security camera footage and completing statements for police, losses were considerable, she said.

Mrs West, who was a policewoman for 15 years, established her company, Educators NZ Ltd, a year ago after she found there was a need for retailer training in dealing with theft.

And it should not discourage the court from convicting or sentencing an offender further, she said.

Palmerston North defence lawyer Tony Thackery said he had come across the “do-it-yourself” justice programme dealt out to clients before.

There was about $13 million worth of retail theft in Palmerston North each year, she said.

“The victim has always got a civil claim.

Although there was no legal foundation to it, there was nothing stopping retailers from asking for the fee to be paid.

Meanwhile, ex-Pioneer New World employee Scott Newland has set up a website, sharedfaces.”

It would even work in the offender’s favour when they came before a judge in sentencing, he said.nz, that retailers can join to receive information about new shoplifters and how to calculate losses.co.

He came up with the idea for the database of faces after he realised the benefit of information sharing in preventing retail theft
