1# Over 70s get a free parking concession disabled mobility card users used to receive this same parking concession, but this was removed some years ago. The disabled community was not consulted before the law was changed.
Why were we not consulted?
I will be lobbying for the return of the same parking concession as over 70s get for mobility card holders would you support this?
Costing quoted at the time of the law change indicated $200,000 per year income from issuing fines and parking charges for disabled people.
If yes excellent if no please explain why not?

Marriages
Italy, 2020, 100 mins, Rated M, Italian with English subtitles
Four couples discover that their marriages are no longer valid because they were all performed by a fraudulent priest. Each of their stories intertwine as the couples find themselves having to decide what to do next - do they get married again... or not.
Director Paolo Costella (PERFECT STRANGERS screened by WFS in 2018) continues to explore the nuts and bolts of couples and their relationships.

We sure need to stand up for victims for once. This was a terribly insignificant sentence for what this man did to five very young women.
I do not use Facebook so have no idea if there is one advertised there.

Litter is easy to find and easy to pick up, but it makes a real difference when you do. You don't have to make a big deal about it, just put on some gardening gloves and take a bag or a bucket on a walk in your local park. Why not take a friend or two, and a bucket each?
Register an event at the link below, and please contact us directly to arrange free pick-up and disposal. Clean Up Week runs begins Saturday 17 September.

For delicious grass-raised beef New Zealand is the perfect combo.
An ideal climate, lush pastures and innovative farming produces enough beef for Macca’s in New Zealand and around the world. Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked.

We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including those at the world-class Whangara Farms.

We are invited to provide our views on these proposals.
Some regulations for managing roads are almost 50 years old and outdated. The proposals include new approaches for changing street layouts, piloting, or trialling street changes, and for restricting vehicles from some streets.
We can find out more about these proposals, and how to have our say on them, here.
