On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

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.”

Harry from Waikanae

I have a project early next year to design some images by photoshopping up to five images from pictures into just one picture.
Does anyone know which adobe photoshop app I should use without having to buy a yearly subscription as this is just a one off deal.

Good morning!
Citizens Advice Bureau is organising another Community Seminar for Tuesday 29th November at 1030am in the Rimu Room upstairs in Coastlands - as usual, a talk, Q&A and free morning tea -

This time we have Porirua Kapiti Community Lawyers talking generally about how they help - particularly the disadvantaged - in our community and the range of issues they can help with.

Come along and meet them and ask them questions - there are so many issues nowadays where an understanding of your rights is critical and, sadly, many people still don't know. Things like Consumer Rights, Tenancy, EPAs -

Citizens Advice Bureaux Kapiti and Otaki work closely with our community lawyers and we can also point you in the right direction for help with family matters, neighbour disputes, employment issues, elder care etc.

We are also there for those people who struggle with access to new technology or understanding Government websites, and can help you with access to these, including help with online job applications, so do call us if you need help or someone to talk to 04 298 4944 😊😊😊

Big super thank you to Animates vet care Waikanae and to all that contributed to the givealittle page I set up a while ago to help my dog
Girl lost her fight with cancer on Wednesday at 6pm at home in my arms thankfully and was fast and peaceful but hard to deal with.
It's even hard writing this but you all need to be thanked for the extra time my companion was with me, that's priceless
Thanks again to Animates and my bro for dealing with cremation for me as I could not even speak or reply to what's happening
Hopefully when I pick up her ashes I might be able to have a conversation and fill them in properly and thank them for the help over time ,,I'm not the easiest person to deal with but they look after Girl and me well,,,,RIP MY GIRL and thanks all for the support
Sorry for the sad post

Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.

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?
