Pickup you and your kids rubbish, and poops, please
Hi Everyone I thought I'd just like to remind those who's out and about enjoying the sunshine at parks, reserves, beaches... Pickup your rubbish and food scraps! I see kinder bueno box, food wraps, chip bags, mountain dew cans 😷.. this is not representative of our lovely neighbourhood... but surely a sight for sore eyes. Worse thing is seeing chicken bones and dogs suffering from other people's dirty scraps. Let's be tidy Kiwis :) Bring reusable bags and containers , your own rubbish bags if you have to... thank you 🙏

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)
