Beware when getting your new car registration (rego) from the AA centre in Porirua.
A friend went down to get her new rego from the AA, but upon arrival found they had left the form at home, they thought taking in the soon to be old one, would give the necessary information. That however left a car parked in the Cobham Court Centre without a rego displayed.
You guessed it, along comes a parking warden and a $200 fine was handed out. The AA said it is a regular occurrence.
A nice money pit for the Council (no apparently they hand the money on) - who refused to listen to the explanation, or accept that the vehicle had a current registration.

Poll: Should our voting age be lowered to 16?

Ashleigh Ogden from Neighbourly.co.nz

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”
