Dog registration
Well once again our dog rego; has gone up to 125.00, 25.00 extra is dam disgraceful as there are mostly responsible dog owners out there. You have the elderly who have a dog for companionship and are struggling to make ends meet. Why not give discount for responsible dog owners I for one, make sure that my dog is well looked after and fed properly, and not allowed off the lead. The council have disregard to human rights and would probably say get rid of the dog, which is a family member, and often the persons only companion. Would they give away their children. I think not? Dogs are not only a wonderful companion they are like children who cannot defend for themselves. The council has used unresponsible dog owners to boost their coppers, shame on you, targeting the elderly people, you people don't give a toss.

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)
