Protest march to Council: Don't call Cats Pests ! They are family!
Currently proposed Auckland Region Pest Management 10 year Plan wants to classify all cats as pests. If a cat is seen or trapped in a Council managed Park, they will shoot it! They say they'll check for a microchip, (they haven't in the past,) but over 15,000 microchips will fail (Virbac.) That is too unreliable when a cat's life depends on it. PLEASE join the march on Wed. 28 March. Meet 11am. outside Civic Theatre, Queen St. Bring friends and a placard if you can.

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)
.
