Dumped Car
This car (rego AFC 499) was dumped in Champion St about 2 1/2 months ago. Road tax has expired. Called CCC to have it removed. They say they can't do anything because (incredibly) it still has a WOF that does not expire until January 2019. So in total we are looking at having this piece of trash on our street for over 6 months. This I might add is the same council that won't empty your bin if the lid is open half an inch. Can't do anything? How about getting onto the owner and telling them if it is not moved it will be towed and destroyed?
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)
.
