Whakatakapokai - The Court case
The Court case over a Youth prison at Whakatakapokai has been held and we now await a decision from the Judge. Angela Dalton, David Wren, Daniel Newman, Fong Yin Chin, Lily Li, Submitter 58 (who cannot be named by Order of the Court) and Dene Andre (that's me) all put in evidence and I made comprehensive legal submissions against the proposal. A decision is due in around 3 weeks.

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)
.

Dead cat
I saw a dead cat on Everglade Drive this morning near the crossing of Keri Anne place. It had been placed near the pavement. Black and white colour. Young. Did not look like it had been dead too long. If you know anyone who is looking for a cat, please inform.
