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.”

Share your thoughts below - these may be published in the We Say You Say column of the local papers.

Fireworks: more than "just one night"

Ana Maea Chitara from Newlands

Looks like the moderators that posted the same fireworks poll all across the country each deleted the discussions on Guy Fawkes night (once Stuff had their article I guess).
Afterwards I heard fireworks being let off on the Sunday, then the following saturday and Sunday (tonight).

Just one night is easy for animal owners to plan for. Afterwards and randomly through the year by people who bought extra, not so much.

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?
