Beware when getting your new car registration (rego) from the AA centre in Porirua.
A friend went down to get her new rego from the AA, but upon arrival found they had left the form at home, they thought taking in the soon to be old one, would give the necessary information. That however left a car parked in the Cobham Court Centre without a rego displayed.
You guessed it, along comes a parking warden and a $200 fine was handed out. The AA said it is a regular occurrence.
A nice money pit for the Council (no apparently they hand the money on) - who refused to listen to the explanation, or accept that the vehicle had a current registration.

Poll: Should our voting age be lowered to 16?

Ashleigh Ogden from Neighbourly.co.nz

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

Last Thursday our charity was privileged to win the Health and Well Being category and the Supreme Award for the work that our volunteers do across the Greater Wellington region.

We are humbled to receive this award as last financial year our team of volunteers rescued and redistributed nearly 350 tons of food and over 4,000 banana boxes of the necessities of life to pass on to clients working with our partner agencies for free.

It was a nice surprise which occurred a few days after our 11th birthday.

Its amazing that our charity started in our double garage 11 years ago after being inspired by the Inside Childhood Poverty by Bryan Bruce.

Fireworks: more than "just one night"

Ana Maea Chitara from Newlands

Looks like the moderators that posted the same fireworks poll all across the country each deleted the discussions on Guy Fawkes night (once Stuff had their article I guess).
Afterwards I heard fireworks being let off on the Sunday, then the following saturday and Sunday (tonight).

Just one night is easy for animal owners to plan for. Afterwards and randomly through the year by people who bought extra, not so much.

Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?
