International Day of the Older Persons 2017 is on Sunday!

The Team from Age Concern New Zealand

International Day of the Older Persons is on Sunday October 1st. Every year we celebrate the contribution older people bring to society. The theme for this year is “Stepping into the Future: Tapping the Talents, Contributions and Participation of Older Persons in Society.”

On Sunday (and the rest of the year), remember to acknowledge the wealth of knowledge and skills that New Zealanders aged over 65 bring to our communities.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
