Our newest member, Tania Woodcock
Our newest member, Tania Woodcock, told us a bit about her fascinating background. She explained her heritage in Maori, telling us that her roots were in England, Ireland, Scotland and Norway although she was born and bred in Porirua East and has a very strong connection to the community. Tania lives in Plimmerton with her film-maker and fireman husband, Tony, and their son, Theo. Her working background is immense and varied both in New Zealand and internationally with a theme of service and creating value, mainly within the public service. And she's experienced long travels too, as far afield as to a Film Festival in the Arctic Circle, the pyramids in Egypt and the west coast of America. What an asset Tania is to our Rotary family.
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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
