2017 Police Dog Trust Calendar
Greetings fellow residents, The Police Dog Charitable Trust, NZ have launched their very first 2017 Police Dog Calendar (as seen recently on Seven Sharp) with proceeds from the sale of the calendars going back to the work the Trust does in supporting the New Zealand Police Dog Section. (more info at policedogtrust.co.nz) The calendar can be purchased online at www.thecopshop.nz... for $19+p&h. However as I am a local, if there are those of you that do not prefer to purchase online, please PM me and I can make arrangements to get your calendar to you. We have done a limited print-run this year and they are selling fast so don't hesitate for what is the perfect stocking filler for Christmas!

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)
.
