Poll: Don't you dare cut my child's hair?

Jared Nicoll Reporter from Kapi-Mana News

A city councillor raised an interesting point on social media earlier this week about whether or not it was ever appropriate for other well-intentioned people, perhaps friends or family, to give their child a haircut. How do you feel about other people deciding when your kid should have a haircut? … View moreA city councillor raised an interesting point on social media earlier this week about whether or not it was ever appropriate for other well-intentioned people, perhaps friends or family, to give their child a haircut. How do you feel about other people deciding when your kid should have a haircut? Is it a big deal if a family member does it with good intentions? Or is this treading on mum's toes?

Jared Nicoll Reporter from Kapi-Mana News

The top end of Albatross Close in Whitby is sinking. It's gone from about 30 centimeters in July to about 1 meter now. There is a temporary access road, but residents are frustrated with the hold-ups and the time it's taking to get the job started on fixing it.

Jared Nicoll Reporter from Kapi-Mana News

There's been debate over loan companies using Father's Day (This Sunday!!!) as a way of advertising their loans to people as a means of buying gifts.
What do people think about this? Are there any dads out there willing to share their thoughts?

We were scheduled to hear from two Porirua College students who had attended this year’s RYPEN at Inglewood, and then from College Principal Ragne Maxwell.

Ragne was indisposed, so Deputy Principal John Topp, assisted by Phil Skipworth, the college’s community liaison officer, took her place.

Tulia Solomona and Pualaga Tua’aufa’li spoke about their RYPEN experience in glowing terms. They had been pushed beyond their normal limits, taken unfamiliar risks, and made new friends. They had thought more about their futures, and with greater confidence. Tulia wants to study medicine and Pualanga has ambitions to be an engineer.
