Community steps up when someone failed to?
Sad to see someone took it upon themselves to deposit five young pups out near a car park on waingaro road to fend for themselves.
Kudos to fab locals who spotted them scavenging rubbish roadside and responded. Despite efforts last night, even in wind and rain in the dark, pups weren't successfully retrieved until this morning. Super responsive community people (plural) caring enough to make someone else's pups a priority.
Now safe from the perils of stormy weather, no food source, traffic and a likely tragic demise.
Someone is responsible for these pups. A mum dog out there who undoubtedly needs desex.
Instead of dumping pups to fend for themselves - there is a drop
box by the council pound where they can be safe and secure at the very least. People - if you don't want the responsibility of pups, desex! If you have an accidental litter, own it and take responsibility - do the right thing by pups and mum - which is not dumping roadside!
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 have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
