Poll: Should we pay people for giving blood?
The Blood Service says it needs 40,000 new donors in the next 12 months to ensure it can meet demand of those needing plasma and blood. Suggestions have been made to pay people for donating, however there are concerns about the dangers of that. Do you think we should pay people for these donations?

Birds nesting on our riverbanks
Hi neighbours
Could you please ask everyone you know with a love of driving their 4WD in our rivers, to please stay away for the next few months. There are birds nesting in the gravel, and chicks exploring, and they are highly vulnerable to vehicles, as well as off-leash dogs. I saw some just this morning, so please respect their space. Thank you!
