Coffee kōrero for potential female candidates in 2019 local elections
25% of our current city council are female, so in an attempt to address that in 2019, I'm organising a casual meeting to talk about barriers women may have standing in a local election and possible solutions/support. If you, or someone you know may be interested in putting their name forward next year or if you'd like to support the kaupapa - please get in touch for more details. The meeting is at 12pm Thursday the 22nd - central city venue TBA.
You can read a little more about where I'm coming from, in my blog kellifromthetron.co.nz...

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