Let's talk tiny!
I'm not ashamed to admit I'm taken with tiny houses so I'm pretty happy to see there's a tiny house house conference being held in Kapiti next month.
It got me wondering about tiny homes in Porirua - surely we have some?
I'd absolutely love to speak with people living the (my) dream so, if you're living in or building a tiny home, please send me a message here or on virginia.fallon@fairfaxmedia.co.nz
By the way, the conference is being held at The Kapiti Community Centre, 15 Ngahina St, Paraparaumu on September 9, from 9am till 5pm!
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)
