Black Cat Hit on Neville Street
Unfortunately I had to pick up someones black cat which was hit by a car outside 117 Neville Street. I didn't see it get hit but I think it happened shortly before I came past at about 8:20pm Wednesday night. I did see a car do a U-turn and have a look but I was already tending to it. There is nothing that they could have done anyway. I am pretty confident it was killed instantly and didn't suffer. I put it on the grass outside 117 Neville Street. Whoever owns it I am sorry for your loss. Please share if you know whose cat it might be.

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)
