stop the building of an industrial incinerator in Waipa
For ALL members who are within 30-40kms of Te Awamutu - please read the info at the link below and decide for yourself if you'd like to support our efforts to BLOCK the construction of an industrial incinerator (burning tyres, metal and automobile parts) in the middle of T.A. near the high school, milk processing plant, river and livestock. It is NOT a recycling plant, as pitched by the company, and will release toxic compounds including dioxins into our air and water affecting not just us but communities around us in a wide radius. Please help by signing the petition on the link below AND consider putting a submission forward to Waipa District Council and Waikato Regional Council before 13 October. There are NO other facilities like this in NZ and we can't open the door by allowing this one.

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)
.
