Drive slower in school zones please!!!
To the lady who almost knocked down my daughter today outside the kindy on Kipling Street ... please drive slower in school zones!!! And keep your abusive words to yourself!!
Yes I know she was in the wrong darting across the street like that, but for goodness sake, don't shout out, "You stupid little girl, don't you dare do that again!!" Yes I have tried to instill road safety in my children, but we've all seen kids dart out without thinking. She didn't see you behind the parked cars, and you were travelling WAY too fast next to a kindy and school entrance! I apologised to you profusely and you still just shouted back. A little care would have been lovely!
Rant over.
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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
