The Voices of Women
This International Women’s Day (IWD) you are invited to hear from an EPIC panel of wāhine who will share their insights into amplifying our voices in local government.
This year's IWD theme is #balanceforbetter so we’ll look at why we need to increase the number of women in elected roles and how we can support them.
We’ll discuss how each of us can encourage and support friends / whanau and our own communities to vote this year.
Finally, we’ll find out how we can influence better social and environmental outcomes for our communities.
Please register your attendance (through eventfinda or by emailing politicsinthetron@gmail.com).
Entry is by koha to help cover costs. Any additional proceeds will go towards Elect Women! a free practical workshop being held on May 4th to help Waikato women prepare their campaign for the October elections.
Great things happen when we collaborate so please tautoko our thanks to DV Bryant; Free FM; Go Eco; The Meteor and the YWCA for supporting this event.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
