what do you NEED - (& what do you want)
there may be other version of this elsewhere - but right here, right now
what do you NEED:
I have:
3 children's soft toys that need a home
some soft toddlers playing block
some children's library books
some of my books for children (big book of bedtime stories)
4 sets of shoes for little people (*was* going to say little girls - but know lots of adults (and some young people) with non-binary gender/identity
lots of books for adults - already lent some to my neighbour on one side - neighbour on other side doesn't need/want at the moment - all good
DVDs - not many - happy to share
what else?? went to Countdown Lincoln Road last night - no queue - everything re-stocked - LOTS of safety measures - not only "normal'"
better than 'normal ' people being nice, lovely, loving, kind, thoughtful caring and compassionate to each other - kiwis being kiwis
kiwis being kiwis - helping each out in time of need
simply who WE ARE, right? agreed?
kiwi people, culture, society - COMMUNITY - FAMILY - WHANAU
"STAY SAFE"
new words - we have ALL been SAYING to each other -
"stay safe" - spreading like an infection - oh this virus is weak -
"STAY SAFE"
LOVE - AROHA -
PEOPLE - COMMUNITY - WHANAU
KIA KAHA - WHO WE ARE - KIWI
WORDS - ARE STRONG - POWERFUL - IDENTIFY WHO WE ARE

STAY SAFE - everyone
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
