dog poo on the lawn
Thanks (NOT) to the lovely 'neighbour' that let their belovered pooch leave me a present on the grass beside my drive at my front door today. This is not on.
If you were a responsible dog owner, and your dog does his/her business on someone's lawn you should pick it up. Not leave it for us to step in and traipse it into our house. It was only that I came early today and spotted it just before my foot landed in it!!!!
Next time clean up your dog. If your dog poops on someone's lawn pick it up take it home and put it in your own bin. We shouldn't have to do your job and clean up after your pooch.
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)
.
