The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.
“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?

Hi team.
We're looking for a campervan to hire around December 28th - 8 or 9th of Jan. Dates are a bit flexible. We're two adults and two children. Open to anything at this stage.
Cheers,

I have 11 bags of kowhai tree stump grindings - total about 400-500 litres. Will be about 90% sawdust, but some soil and grass fragments in the mix.
Skate away! Turn an old skateboard into a handy clock with a little imagination and Resene paints.

As a result, there will be new traffic management in place, from Monday, November 21.
The road will be reduced to one lane on each side from 8 Seaview Road through to the Petone Z Petrol Station just before the Seaview roundabout.
Please follow all onsite signage and take care with merging.
The existing bus stop will be temporarily relocated to the south of the site. Cyclists and pedestrians will be escorted through site. There is no change to the Urupa carpark access.
Traffic management will be in place until late March 2023.
The hours of work will generally be 7am – 6:30pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturday work as required
