Hamilton Eastward candidate:

Brad from Hamilton East

MUST-READ COUNCIL POST
What I am standing for:
✅ People and the environment first.

✅ Community connectivity and engagement - with each other and with our council.

✅ Effective and efficient spending of ratepayer's money.

✅ Housing - Affordable homes (that are actually affordable) and high-density housing.

✅ Sustainability and future-proofing - more green spaces, more biodiversity (more planting of native trees), safe cycleways to encourage people to use their bikes (part of infrastructure too).

✅ New initiatives to help combat suicide, domestic violence, mental illness, and homelessness and assist the working poor.

✅ Hemp farming and medical cannabis - I believe this bill is going to pass in the national referendum next year. Hamilton needs to be prepared. There are millions of dollars to be made for our local economy, and potentially hundreds of jobs to be created. (This does not mean recreational cannabis).

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.

Discovery of remains could answer one question but leave more

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s been more than 900 days since Alvina Smith last saw her partner Shane Edwards - standing at the kitchen sink doing dishes.

Now, if human remains found near a Tokoroa creek turn out to be his, it’ll resolve at least one of her many questions.
