Asians on Screen; Final Frontier

Mary from Redwood

Hello good neighbours, the following event is coming to Christchurch and it would be awesome to give support to a Redwood raised young lady if you can make it.

Have you ever wondered why there aren’t many Asians in movies or T.V shows but the ones that appear on screen occasionally only play the stereotyped “Asian” roles?

Future Dragonz Christchurch is proud to present “Asians on Screen: the Final Frontier", proudly supported by the New Zealand Film Commission.

We are thrilled to have award winning New Zealand actress and playwright Alice Canton and Raymond Suen from the NZ Film Commission to discuss the awkward, confusing and downright hilarious questions around Asian representation in theatre and screen.


We will have free nibbles and would love to see you there and hear your thoughts.

When: 6 pm Tuesday 4 July 2017
Where: Upper Riccarton Library Community Room, 71 Main South Road.

Please RSVP your FREE ticket by clicking on this link here:
www.eventbrite.com... the venue has limited capacity so please RSVP and bring your ticket via printout or smart phone to the venue.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
