Parking warden resigns over drive to issue more tickets

Fiona from Henderson

Seriously *Auckland Transport??
Have you all been sipping at the cool aid counter?
This part of the article has really got my hackles up:

"Drivers with disability stickers have been allowed to park in 30 minute parking zones at Matiatia ferry terminal if they couldn't find mobility parking, Quinn said.

However, in the past year Auckland Transport has insisted disabled drivers are fined if they park in the 30 minute spaces for more than 60 minutes."

30 minutes time limit? Really? Whereas the average car park is 120 mins.
I'll be interested to read your thoughts on this appalling approach of heavy handedness and lack of consideration for the handicap parking spots.

* edited to put the correct name there. Not Auckland City Council (as I incorrectly mentioned) but Auckland Transport

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
