At the end of the day; the baby/child is the main priority in terms of safety
A woman this week was given her bub back, who had been taken from her, due to serious concerns for the babies safety and wellbeing. May she and her partner continue to grow and succeed in the demanding role that is parenting......however
I truly believe that too many babies have died and continue to die or are horrifically abused to allow emotion to cloud the number one priority:- The child, te pepe. It is imperative that these defenceless babies/children are the first and last reasons for any decisions made in terms of uplift or staying.
Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
