WEAR YOUR GUMBOOTS AT DYNASPEAK TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
For many, having depression is like walking through mud every day.
Walk in their shoes for a day; put on your gumboots and/or give a gold coin and help provide free counselling to any kid in need.
Last year in New Zealand 137 young people died by suicide and it is estimated another 3500 attempted to take their own lives. While Government agencies are doing their best some kids are stuck waiting up to six months to receive the counselling they so urgently need. To tackle that barrier, 100% of all donations will go directly to the registered health professionals to tee up counselling quickly for kids.
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)

Dead cat
I saw a dead cat on Everglade Drive this morning near the crossing of Keri Anne place. It had been placed near the pavement. Black and white colour. Young. Did not look like it had been dead too long. If you know anyone who is looking for a cat, please inform.
