Attica Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Attica Project is an unregistered political party in New Zealand. The party was founded by Mike Iles and Michael Kay, who left the New Zealand Outdoors Party over frustrations with its organisation and processes.[1][2] Iles and Kay say they intend to run the party as a largely leaderless movement.[1]
The party opposes neoliberal policies.[3] Its website presents policies relating to improved conservation,[4] water and soil[5] among others.
Attica is not registered for the 2020 general election, so cannot receive party votes. It is running two candidates in electorates: Mike Iles in Mana and Michael Kay in Ōtaki.[6][7][3]

Paper Shredding
I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.
Just let me know if you want some.
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)
.
