Please care enough:
A terrible week - Grace Millane. About 6 years ago I lived on a corner block in Hamilton East and a car with young men in would cruise around the block during the day. I thought they maybe checking out our homes to burgle. I noticed 2 pretty young girls walking past one day and the same car appeared out of nowhere. The male passenger got out and opened the back door and indicated to the girls to jump in. I raced out of my front door and yelled at the girls and they stopped. The male jumped back in the car and they took off. The girls were 12 and 13 - sisters and dressed up like 18 year olds. It turned out that their father was very hard of them and they thought that they would be ok with these cruising creeps. I was travelling through my local town outskirts last year and saw a scruffy man pulling a woman inside a door to an unused warehouse. I stopped and called out to her "are you alright". She said yes. I asked again, in case he was forcing her and she said "it's ok just an argument". He had released her and I felt if she was not ok she could run to my car. I drove off, and still feel guilty for not getting out of my car and making sure but I am on the wrong side of 65 and did not have my phone on me. Please if you see anything you think is "off" don't worry about making a fool of yourself. Better to do that than not help someone in real danger. Rest in Peace Grace. I am so sorry that you came here and will not fulfill your bucket list and live a long life.

Wheelchair Van
We have a Kia Carnival van with wheelchair side-ramp and full equipment for an electric wheelchair passenger to sit safely up front beside the driver. The car also has a 3-person backseat. Happily, we no longer need it and would like to pass it on to someone who could make use of it. The car is 2006, automatic with V6 engine and has only done 60880 kms. It has been regularly serviced and looked after, but it's suffered wear and tear a bit over the years. However, it was a godsend to us and gave us such freedom. If you are interested, please message me.
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)
