We’re all guilty of buying things we don’t need sometimes, but there are ways to curb that behaviour and make things a little bit more sustainable. 

Kate Hall has a list of things she’s not buying in 2026, paper towels, seasonal decor, and fast fashion just a few, but instead of giving them up entirely, she’s figured out a few alternative options. 

She joined Jack Tame to discuss her full list of swaps.

Frank Bunce is an All Blacks legend. 

His 55-cap career spanned six seasons before he retired from the team at age 36 – the second oldest All Black in history. 

While he was done with the black jersey, he wasn’t done with rugby, playing for the Chiefs as well as having a stint in Europe before hanging up his boots properly in 1999. 

But that wasn’t the last time Kiwis saw him on the screen, as Bunce was one of the first contestants on Celebrity Treasure Island – all the way back in 2001. 

This year sees him back on the Island for a second attempt at digging up the treasure, but what prompted his return? 

“It’s not really the challenge,” he explained to Jack Tame. 

“I don’t mind the challenge and all of that ... I think it’s the people, y’know, you enjoy yourself, you have the challenge.” 

“It’s something totally different.”
