Wellington’s water woes
In Wellington the water leaks,
Been doing it for weeks and weeks.
The pipe by us got fixed but then,
A few weeks later it leaks again.
Down on Lambton Quay the path,
Is so very wet you have to laugh,
As you splash through or tiptoe round
Trying to stay on higher ground.
Now they’re saying we might run out
With so much sun and heat about.
So save some water, buy a tank
(Should already have one, to be frank)
Even though our rates are high
And no-one knows exactly why
We know one day all will be fine
If everybody toes the line
And doesn’t shower or wash the car
Or water the garden
Or use the spa.
Or cook
Or drink
(Let them drink wine!)
Don’t worry folks we’ll all be fine!
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)
.
