Stealing my plants from the road reserve.
Hi I live in Lyall bay and i wonder why is it that people heading back to their cars feel its ok to steal my plants. I have paid for them and put out on my sand dunes in front of my house. While it is road reserve i have put plants in to hold the sand in place. By having the dunes in front i get less sand in the house and at the back of house and stops the sand from spilling onto the pavement.
If you want a cutting please come in and ask for one. We are more than happy to do this rather than having them being ripped out.
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)
.
