Petition to NZ Govt to declare Russia a terrorist state.

Marina from Hamilton Central

People, pls, help Ukraine. Pls, sign petition to NZ Govt to declare Russia a terrorist state. The war is still going and Russia is trying to kill Ukraine every day. My friend in Zaporozhye was injured by blast, he was at the hospital for a few months. My 2 cousins in Nikolaev already forgot what is safety and normal life. I am trying to help with money as much as I can but it's not enough. Pls, don't think that we are safe here and the war is too far away. Putin is insane, mad. Signing petition is not hard, it takes 1 min. Please, kiwis. Have a look videos on Youtube about Bucha, Mariupol and others. Nothing left from those beautiful places. My heart is crying for Ukraine.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
