Successful Food Bank collection
The Rotary Club of Tawa and Tawa Inner Wheel have expressed their thanks to the Tawa Community for their generous support of the Stuff the Trailers collection for the Tawa Food Bank on Saturday.
Rotary Club President, Judith Gray, said that this has meant that the Food Bank has been stocked up for Christmas. More than $1,300 in cash was also donated and will be used to purchase perishables.
Judith Gray also acknowledged the support offered by Tawa Lions, Tawa Rangers, Tawa Scouts, the Salvation Army, Tamsin and Malcolm from One Agency, the face painters, Tawa Fire Brigade, Guardian Funeral Home, and New World Tawa and Countdown Tawa supermarkets.
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)
