Reminder for Life
With the sun now showing more it might be time to think about where your life and desires are at. With more and more challenges in life have you considered what tomorrow brings? None of us know exactly what it will bring as the only guarantee in life is that eventually death will catch us up so are you prepared for that if it catches you out or will common law apply instead of a long delay into dividing evenly into all family associated with you. Today this probably won't be the desired intention as I know of lots of families that don't like each other or a change of partners where you don't want your ex-partner having a share or anything else which might be undesired happening on your passing. Everyday we get out in our cars, trucks, buses etc we all run the risk it may be our last or anything else that nature and the rest may throw our way it pays to be prepared so this makes your plans easy and what you would have desired.
Make sure you have a Will set up as this is the only way to make your desire sorted upon you passing as even young children unfortunately die by nature or accident and it can hit at any time thus be prepared regardless of how much or little you have acquired.
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)
.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
