Auckland Council has been accused of ageism for paying members of its youth panel 30 per cent less than its older advisors.

Members of its youth advisory board, who are aged 14 to 24, are paid $173 per meeting, but a review has recommended the council raise their pay to match the rate of $250 per meeting, that members of other demographic panels get.

What do you think? Should young people get a pay rise? Read the full story here.

The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?

* Facebook App
* Earbuds included. [I never use earbuds, so these are new and still in their plastic bag.
* Lanyard included. Handy if you are unwell or prone to falls. Wear around your neck
This phone is not available retail in New Zealand. I bought it in September last year in Melbourne, though it hasn't been used all of that time. Probably 4 months usage.
I look after my handsets and this one is in excellent order with no scratches, screen damage, or any faults. It hasn't been up to my ear as I always use speakerphone. Mocha Brown colour is a nice change from a black handset. Have thought about keeping it but I've gone back to using another handset and it's just sitting idle. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and find the keypad excellent. Light and compact handset.

Phone Declan on 0224-773-772 for a quicker contact as I don't always get in for messages on here in a timely manner.
