Theft attempt
Some time last night someone attempted to steal petrol from my neighbour's car which was parked in her drive close to the house. She went out this morning and found the petrol cap on the drive by the car, and a piece of her garden hose had been cut off and used as a syphon. It is not possible to syphon petrol from her car, so whoever did this was out of luck. This is in Herrington Street, so neighbours be aware, and make sure you have everything locked up tight.
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)
.
