Health and safety
Hi neighbour’s
Anybody out there that’s interested in looking in to health and safety and why things still go wrong, all company’s have health and safety policies and procedures most if not all company’s policies and procedures, when followed no one would ever get hurt or injured at work yet we are still getting hurt and even killed at work, so why is this happening there’s a big list of why’s and could be a long one we are all born with it we get hurt we know as parents we know we have to keep our families our kids safe so why at work do we get it so wrong our policies and procedures work but why are people crossing that line one thing I have learned is mindset has a lot to do with it I asked a lot of people who they work for they always say so and so company but I always set them straight and say no you’re wrong the company you work for is called your family, at the end of the day we all work to provide for our families but the one thing I always say is if we get hurt or injured at work or even killed it’s our families that have to live with it the rest of their lives, there is a better way, change the mindset we need to get it right we only get one life, health and well-being is a big part as well any help would be appreciated just looking for people who would be into helping people understand
health and safety at our work space and home
Kind regards

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)
.

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
