Bird protection collars
Hi I m wanting to find a good sewer who would be interested in making cat protection collars, I have been making them for a while and I have a lady who is taking them to the market to sell! However they need to be improved on and I don't have the time and also my sewing skills are limited! The collars have a huge potential but they need to look more professionally made! At the moment they are just a trial. Next year Victoria University are doing a study on bird protection devices etc which will be well publicised! Please let me know if your interested. Materials will be provided and there is definitely money to be made when they take off! Please contact me if your interested.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

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.
