Ha just watching news on people and visitors leaving behind some human waste and ask people to use the toilets..well they should make more toilets along the way,1 or 2 is no where enough,its simple !
Most walking tracks even here in waikane have nothing so what they expect let alone up and down the country,as for some toilets that are in use like otaki beach for example should be bulldozed and clean and fresh ones built,I did need to visit here one day and smelt like gaint urine pit and I went elsewhere,,,build more Toilets and cut the crap,your the ones in charge so build more,,sure its bit hard to get in some locations but what you paided for,use a helicopter like you do for other things ,you want nice clean tracks put a toilet there,no brainer idea,,my 1 cent on that and sure most will agree,most coastal areas dont have any toilets but you expect everyone to wee or poo in a bag or something,,we all human and have to go sometimes
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)
.
