Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party leveraged false claims of voter fraud and promises to overturn the election to raise more than a quarter-billion dollars in November and December as hundreds of thousands of trusting supporters listened and opened their wallets.
But the Trump campaign spent only a tiny fraction of its haul on lawyers and other legal bills related to those claims. Instead, Trump and the GOP stored away much of the money â $175 million or so â even as they continued to issue breathless, aggressive and often misleading appeals for cash that promised it would help with recounts, the rooting out of election fraud and even the Republican candidatesâ cha

Michael Hill jewellery has declined to return the wage subsidy, despite posting profits for the year. “Naming and shaming can work but it tends to be not as effective as we think it will be,” said University of Auckland marketing lecturer Bodo Lang. The effectiveness of shaming depended on factors like whether the item was essential to the consumers and the position the company had in the local community, he said. If a company’s product could be easily bought from someone else then consumers were able to wield more power in naming and shaming a business. “This is not just something that works from a consumer to business perspective. It also works from a business to business perspective,” Lang said.
