On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

Hi everyone, Callan here!

I'm a qualified naturopath and medical herbalist based in the Eastern suburbs and I have my own natural health business called Colourful Minds. I have some spots available pre-Christmas for anybody who's looking to get on a healthy track over the summer break or address any ongoing health concerns. I have a special interest in stress management and nervous system health, so if you are keen to tackle any issues (big or small) and get your health heading in a better direction then feel free to reach out!

After an initial consultation, you can expect a robust health plan that's catered to your current lifestyle and health goals and any follow ups will continue to target areas of improvement and what we can do to keep making progress. I'm registered with the NMHNZ (Naturopaths and Medical Herbalists of New Zealand) and as a qualified medical herbalist, I can also recommend and organise herbal formulas.

I'm offering 20% off my usual consult fee in the spirit of Christmas too, because why not!

You can check out my website here too if you are interested! www.colourfulminds.co.nz...

Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?

Hi neighbours - still trying to find a home for my dryer. Something has come loose so it makes a bit of a clatter but I'm sure someone in the neighbourhood could restore it to full working order. Would love it to be picked up in the next few days.
