Free printers
Two Brother printers – free to anyone who wants to try getting them going again. I will include whatever cartridge/drum is currently in the printers – I have no idea how much toner is left in them!
HL-3150CDN – colour laser printer.
– double-siding chews up the paper
– tray full of coloured waste powder underneath, which has caused coloured powder to permeate the printer
– USB plug on the back has been pushed into the printer
MFC-L2700DW – B&W laser copier/printer
– was dropped when a trestle table collapsed, and now gives an error message, and no longer works
Contact me on 027-630-7435 – pickup is in Redwood, Tawa
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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
