Well done Naomi Shaw
As a journalist, one of the most interesting characters I work with is Naomi Shaw. I got to know her in the early 1990s. She was a great supporter of the Hutt News and has also made a significant contribution to the Hutt Valley Sports Awards. This is what she posted on Facebook
"Guess this doesn’t happen very often ... but I am proud to still be part of the Saints Softball Club for 55+ years. My father managed teams in the early days and my three sisters plus numerous nieces & nephews played for the club. Now I have daughter Kiri and mokopuna Denva and Mesha playing in the same team with Mum and/or Nan still active in the club. The truth is ...I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t enjoy it so much! Surrounded by good people and still making great memories.:

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)
