The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

The National Party is considering a policy of fining parents $3000 if their children drop out of school and don't enter further education or training.

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?

* Earbuds included. [I never use earbuds, so these are new and still in their plastic bag.
* Lanyard included. Handy if you are unwell or prone to falls. Wear around your neck
This phone is not available retail in New Zealand. I bought it in September last year in Melbourne, though it hasn't been used all of that time. Probably 4 months usage.
I look after my handsets and this one is in excellent order with no scratches, screen damage, or any faults. It hasn't been up to my ear as I always use speakerphone. Mocha Brown colour is a nice change from a black handset. Have thought about keeping it but I've gone back to using another handset and it's just sitting idle. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and find the keypad excellent. Light and compact handset.

Phone Declan on 0224-773-772 for a quicker contact as I don't always get in for messages on here in a timely manner.

Price: $50

WARNING
Car break-ins are crimes of opportunity. If one of these thieves is walking on your street, they quickly look into cars parked on the street or near the street. If they see anything in a car like a bag, briefcase computer case or radar detector etc and there is no one around they will quickly smash a window and grab the stuff and get out of there. If they don't see anything in the car, it's not worth the possibility of disturbing someone and getting caught, so they just move on until they find a car with something visible in it.
The simple answer is to never leave anything visible in your car.

In-car cameras and similar can attract their attention just by the bracket on the windscreen if that is still there they might break-in on the off chance that the camera is still in the car. Don't leave camera or radar detector brackets attached to the windscreen if you are parking on the street.

Either take your stuff out of the car or put it in the car boot
