11Mar20 0708 #5 Corona virus: septic tanks update
Update and last post on this septic subject since my #4 post two days ago. This morning I talked again to Auckland Council's help phone-line 09 301-0101. They hadn't done much thinking since my first call 9Mar20. So septic tank owners .. we are pretty much on our own for now. But the phone line team leader did say that any household in isolation should call their septic tank contractors, notify them about the isolation so they can take appropriate precautions, and ask the contractors to clean-out the tanks.
As I look out down the valley here along Redoubt Road and watch the rain settle in I can't help but remember Auckland University Associate Professor Wiles' recommendation: form a support group with your neighbours so you can help each other. Here's the link: bit.ly...
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)
.
