Spa pool
Hi all. I have a spa pool which is not working. Shell and cover are in very good condition, but the heater and stage 1 pump doesn't work. It is certainly repairable if you are or know an electrician, or electronics whizz kid. It is about 15 years old. I intend to get a new one, once more arrive in the shops. It is free to anyone who is prepared to come and take away. It will need at least 4 strong blokes to lift it and carry across the garden to the driveway. Weight(empty) is approx 300 kgs. I am in Pines Beach. Ring 021 938 480 if you are interested. Happy Christmas everyone.

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)
