Urgent housing needed/ rental
Hello neighbours.
Edit: This family is now living in their cars. They have asked for help through all avenues including emergency housing, which they have said they cant help the family.
But this is typical NZ where we help foreigner's and not our own people. But please if anyone has or knows of anyone with possibly something for them to stay in that would be highly highly appreciated.
I am just wondering if anyone has or knows of anyone who may have a rental for a family of 3 ( a mum and her two sons) are looking for a rental asap as today i their last day in the rental they are currently in and have had no luck in getting another rental as yet.
Please get intouch if you have or know of anyone. They are looking around upper hutt lower hutt petone and possibly welligton. Thank you

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)
