They could use the $5 million of wasted tax payers money Damien O'Conner spent with cell phone jammers to stop prisoners accessing their phones while in prison.

All totally removed now. Better still, place the scanners in Parliament and have them operating when parliament is in session. Politicians behaviour is often far worse than that from students in school or in the play yard. Maybe if the SPEAKER was to have scrolled the names of the worst offenders each day on Channel 31 before the 'silly season starts at 2 pm might help the suffering public get more value for the money they cost from the drama queens and kings. ps I think the current speaker is 1000% better than his predecessor.
The leader of the National Party has announced a plan to ban cellphones from all classrooms to minimize distractions for students. The Labour party has commented that this is commonplace already and is a decision best left for individual schools. Do you think a ban should be enforced?

The reserve at 10 Shirley Rd was previously home to the Shirley Community Centre, which hosted various organisations and projects.
The centre was damaged in the Canterbury earthquakes and demolished in 2012. The reserve was then fitted with facilities including a basketball court, playground, pump track and a large green space.
In 2020, feedback from 58 public submitters was split between replacing the old community centre and developing the area into an open green space.
In 2021, the council approved $3 million of funding to rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre and requested an updated feasibility study.
Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board chairperson Emma Norrish said the board wanted to "develop a meaningful, dynamic, and fun space for everyone, so that the reserve becomes a destination of choice for the community".
The community is being asked their opinion on three options for the reserve.
The options are:
- A recreation space with a full basketball court, renewed playground, planting, a picnic and BBQ area, a community garden and a walkway.
- Creating a community hub that's open to partnerships with local organisations.
- Leaving the space as it is.
Visit the council's website to have your say.
