WE AT GREY POWER ROTORUA ARE WRINGING, NOT RINGING OUR HANDS !
HELP US PUT OUR MAGAZINE THROUGH THE WRINGER !
Remember the old wringers that sat on the washing machine, and crushed your arm if it caught your fingertips ? Grey Power Rotorua needs at least one urgently. Our new magazine publishers do not have a folding service, so the idea is to fold and crush them with that old-fashioned mangle we all remember fondly ! We don't actually need a whole washing machine outfit, just the hand-cranked mangle type ... the graphics are for those who never have seen one ... but if we are offered the electrically run type with washing machine, we can do that.
We don't necessarily need to own it, and can buy and collect it if that is an option. Someone, somewhere must either have one, or know who does !
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)
.
