The legacy of people taken into state care who suffered neglect and abuse is a stain on our country’s history. Over the next three years, the Royal Commission will listen to stories about the experiences of people in state care and examine ways to stop any further abuse.

Before that process can begin, the Terms of Reference to define the scope and purpose of the Inquiry need to be set. Sir Anand would like to hear your views on the draft Terms of Reference so we can work together to make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.

Technology to make your home smarter and safer

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

I am absolutely sick of the low lives that keep dumping their rubbish all over the Bexley Red Zone area where I like to walk my dog.
There have been 3 lots dumped just in the last 2 weeks (photos attached).
The shed boxes had a name and address of a lady from Aranui on them (that is not at all to say it was her that dumped them) but hopefully she may know who took receipt of her rubbish.
I’ve have informed the council each time and thankfully they have been and cleared the first 2 lots dumped and are investigating.
This should not be happening!! It blows all over the place, into the river, up to the road and could pose as a hazzard to drivers and wildlife and costs us (the rate and tax payers) money to clear!!
It’s just lazy and disgusting when the tip is not far up the road.
Please keep vigilant everyone and report if you find!!
