Abandoned cat?

Timothy from Sydenham

Does anyone in the Somerfield area know if this cat (see photos) belongs to a home? It looks like it's been through the wars – scarily thin, with what looks like an infected left eye. There is also a lot of puss in both eyes. It's right eye looks bloodshot, and the left ear and nose both look very sore. S/he is very friendly. For the past few days I have been feeding it on McCombs St (Selwyn St end) and providing a little TLC, but I think it needs to be taken to a vet. Just curious as to whether s/he is homeless, abandoned, or perhaps has run away? Any help would be great, thanks.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
