Paul Smith: obsolescence in appliances and no repairers

From Sunday Morning, 9:37 am on 25 November 2018

Dr Paul Smith, is head of testing at Consumer New Zealand. He says although we live in an age of gadgets and appliances, many don't last. And whole classes of appliances are now uneconomic to repair even once - it just makes more sense to buy a new one. He says that doesn't make sense and our landfills are suffering.
