Dog owners
We now have a lovely path along the railway line, beautifully landscaped and used by many people including families and children. This morning about 9am a couple and their large black labrador X were walking between Kamo Rd and Kensington Ave. The couple engrossed in conversation, the dog unrestrained and running freely. Unnoticed by the couple, the dog stopped, had a big poo in the bark, scratched the bark everywhere and went on it's way. Unfortunately my camera was not nearby so I can't include a pic. Come on Dog owners, get your act together and show some responsibility. There are many people walking their dogs along these paths and being responsible but always a few who are not. Shame on them.
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)
.
