Friends of Waiwhetū help clean-up stream
A shopping trolley, a scooter and 36 bags of rubbish were retrieved from
the Waiwhetū Stream during a recent clean-up.
Organisers Phillip Zhou and Henry Steele of the Friends of Waiwhetū were pleased with the result of 36 bags and numerous large items. With 10 tyres, a shopping trolley, scooter, and one road sign being among the more unusual items, it is satisfying to remove such unsightly objects from the beautiful stream.
Usually carried out every three to four years, the committee is considering organising a more frequent stream cleans..

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)
.
