Wheelchair Van
We have a Kia Carnival van with wheelchair side-ramp and full equipment for an electric wheelchair passenger to sit safely up front beside the driver. The car also has a 3-person backseat. Happily, we no longer need it and would like to pass it on to someone who could make use of it. The car is 2006, automatic with V6 engine and has only done 60880 kms. It has been regularly serviced and looked after, but it's suffered wear and tear a bit over the years. However, it was a godsend to us and gave us such freedom. If you are interested, please message me.
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)
.
