Disability funding meeting in Whangarei
I went to the Ministry of Health meeting in Whangarei today it was about disability funding very interesting MOH feely admitted the same questions were asked ten years ago.
A person in the room pointed out when she was in charge 19 years ago it was also the same questions.
Is something being missed here like the answers to our questions?
I have 50 years of lived experience of disability I am running for council in Okara Ward Whangarei Glen McMillan is my name. we need a disabled person like me to sit on council to educate and create real change, not just talk about change but make the change happen.
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)
.
