WAIKANAE SUPPORT HUB

Katherine from Waikanae Beach

I was the person Vincent Duncan gave the painting to at the Waikanae Support Hub when it was up and operational. I was absolutely thrilled!!! We were going to auction it for funds. Shortly after Vincent and I had that lovely morning together, things turned to custard at The Hub, and I had no option but to leave. I tried to take the painting to return it to Vincent (was accused of all sorts of things). To the best of my knowledge, the painting is still at 8A Mahara Place, Waikanae. Although, if I were a catty person I would suggest it was pride of place on Iride's wall. I know that's where I would have it, it is simply too happy, gorgeous, colorful to be languishing anywhere else. Thanks Vincent for your time that day, you're a very special individual with an awesome talent and a generous spirit. Sorry for any confusion, I thought the matter would have been cleared up by now. Mind you, I was there to do the admin...

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)
.
