Please get in touch if you are available to chat today or tomorrow - you must be willing to be quite open, as you may be asked about budget, household income and if you own your own home etc. To get in touch, email brittany.keogh@fairfaxmedia.co.nz (Please note that we will need you to be named and photographed for the story).
Piled high in my wardrobe were clothes that needed to be seen
To be carried upon the shoulder
Slung low below the hip
Tied around the waist
Tasselled sleeves hanging from fringed leather
Flapper dresses swinging in the wind
Belts with bullet holes for fastening
Neon tops to light the way

To be carried upon the shoulder
Slung low below the hip
Tied around the waist
Tasselled sleeves hanging from fringed leather
Flapper dresses swinging in the wind
Belts with bullet holes for fastening
Neon tops to light the way
Stilettos with heels so high
Boots bound with thick leather laces
Steel capped boots without a nick
Snakeskin knee high leg huggers
These clothes need to see the light
Shake off the dust
Let the flares fan like reptiles
Cover the muse with articulated grace
Yes, I will wear my clothes outside today
And encourage conversation about their cloth
Not worry about the mis and the match
As all thread counts

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?

Stuart McCutcheon said he now recognised the most important matter was "not a debate about free speech", after last week citing free speech as the reason the university had not intervened. He said the most important matter was the "very real hurt and sense of threat" felt by some people in the university community.
What do you think of his response?

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?

I haven't experienced Christmas in Grey Lynn yet, and I'd love to know if there's anything special going on in the neighbourhood. I know some communities have Xmas markets or street parties.
What Christmas events/celebrations/fairs/markets/concerts/festivals/fundraisers are you all aware of? Anything that gets you in the spirit of Christmas, both in and around Grey Lynn.
Thanks :)
