Opportunity to win 2 CDs - 'Voices of Women' and 'Voices of Men'
Featuring well known and internationally recognised vocalists, these 2 CDs of new music by now Hamilton-based composer Janet Jennings are sure to delight anyone who likes opera, chamber music, or high quality music. Vocalists include Jayne Tankersley, Catrin Johnsson, Mere Boynton, Stephanie Acraman, Felicity Tomkins, James Ioelu, James Harrison and Will King. James Ioelu and James Harrison have returned to New Zealand after singing in the opera house of Europe and the UK.
Voices of Women features the words of NZ women as they tell of their struggles, experiences and humour. Voices of Men features the words of NZ men, and fittingly given it has just been released in time for ANZAC, includes 'Songs of War'.
To celebrate Mother's Day and the release of 'Voices of Men', the companion CD to 'Voices of Women', we are giving away a set of both CDs. The winner will be drawn on 8th May. You can enter at the link:

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)

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