Timebands, Parental Locks and Classifications
Do you use free-to-air TV classifications like G, PGR and AO, or timebands like the 8.30pm watershed, to help decide what you, or children in your care, watch?
The Broadcasting Standards Authority are considering whether some changes should be made to timebands and programme classifications on free-to-air television and want to hear what you think.
We will be holding a public meeting in Porirua where you can get more information and ask questions. It will be on Friday 17 August at Porirua RSA from 10.00am-12.00pm, please register on our website if you plan to attend.
You can also find out what is being considered and give your feedback through our 5-10-minute online survey.
Email us at info@bsa.govt.nz or visit the website for more information.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

International Volunteer Managers Day
Yesterday marked International Volunteer Managers Day. So throughout this week we will be spotlighting several amazing volunteer managers from across the Wellington region.
Liv has recently started managing a diverse team of volunteers at The Free Store Wellington. Here are some words about what she loves about her role!
OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI
This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.
We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.
November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
