ducks

Karyn from St Albans

Thank you (not) to the person who just run over the duck. There was no other traffic and if had looked would have seen the grey cat chase them on the road. She was disabled like me so took bit longer to take of. Had an injured leg and would sit on my knee so I could massage it. You hit her right on centre line. I was just coming around the corner. Was a green station wagon with blue on the bottom. You did not even stop to move her of the road. Would you run me over to as I am disabled from work accident. Everyone else watches out for them. They may not be anything to you but mean a lot to me. Since becoming disabled are one of the only things find enjoyment from. WHY. I know can be a pain but have 3 cats around here who chase them for fun. Are you going to aim for them to. Sorry but like family to me. I try protect all wildlife and animals around here. Started as good day but now feel like someone ripped my heart out.She could not move fast and to hit her on white line you aimed for her. Cars are not killing machines.. Why do you not just come punch me in the head. Would hurt less. I lost most of my quality of life in work accident and will lose husband as has terminal illness. Please do not kill anymore ducks. I try to keep an eye on them., but cannot move that fast

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
