Poll: Should our voting age be lowered to 16?

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.”

This modern winter feeling Christmas Tree is absolutely elegant. It stands 2.1 meters tall and has 306 beautiful Warm White LED Lights decorating its branches. Its branches are lovely and fine.

With its height it still has quite a small footprint so will fit in to even the smallest of spaces. This tree really is very impressive and it comes with a 3 meter power cable to reach most power points.

The storage box for this tree is 132x26x13cm. The box is long and skinny at only 13cm so is very easy to store through out the year.

I have 2 of these one is new in the box $100

The other doesn't have a box but in new condition $90

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?
