Dog sitter needed urgently
Can you help? We've lost our house/dog sitter at the last minute so we are urgently searching for a replacement for 5 nights next week, starting Tuesday night. through till Sunday afternoon. We live at the end of the Snodgrass Road with a reserve and beach 5 -10 minute walk away. Our dog will needs walking daily but he can be dropped at doggy daycare week days, then he won't need walking. That's on Clarke road on the way into TGA. He is a medium size dog and very cuddly, however he is quite strong willed so you will need to be firm. Our home is in a lovely spot with a view of the water. Please message me or ring me on
022 094 5354. Thanks

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)
.
