Burglary
Hi neighbours
Just got home from holidays to a ransacked house and have lost an odd collection of items to what I think are young burglars. They took two treasured ukuleles from my collection. A black Washburn electric uke plus an art piece uke in yellow tones with pearls on. They also took two huge copper planter tubs from the deck plus a number of ornamental buddhas. Plus my packet of important documents from the filing cabinet including birth certs, passports etc. Grey Lynn area two blocks from the shops so if you could all keep an eye out, I would appreciate it.
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)
.
