Wild birds of New Zealand 2021 Calendar
Hi All, my 2021 calendar is currently at Valley Printing in Petone in prepress. It is a large A3 (297mmX420mm) calendar on 150gsm gloss art paper, with the cover on 300gsm gloss art board. Printed on one side and spiral bound, this means that each month and the cover are a frameable art-quality high resolution print for you to cut out when the month is finished. I have to decide on final print numbers by Friday, so if you would like one let me know. A calendar will cost NZ$35, inclusive of GST and postage within New Zealand, or you can get a $8 discount ($27.00) if you can collect directly from me in Woburn, Lower Hutt. You can preorder on louise@louisethomas.co.nz (or message me if you prefer). Payment on pick-up or I can send you a GST invoice for deposit into my bank account when they are ready to post. They should be ready early October.
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)
.
