Charity Garage Sale
Age Concern are lucky to be the recipients of the up-coming Charity Garage Sale hosted by Ray White Real Estate and held at the Ngongotaha Railway Park on Saturday 1st May from 8:00 am. Since the original Charity Garage Sale before Level 4 Lockdown most Charities have made good money and over $30,000 has been raised. A huge thanks must go out to Tim O'Sullivan and his team, not only for their generous support of Charities but also the time and effort put into each event. If you would like to donate something big or small please just drop it off at 5 Tarewa Place or phone 07 347 1539 to have it picked up.
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)
