Amanda from Hamilton East

In the space of a couple hours, in Anzac Parade, Hamilton, we saw five fire engines and three police cars roar by all lights blazing.

We discussed how cleaning your gut of built-up waste is a slow but ultimately, hugely rewarding task. A clean gut is an efficient, effective workhorse for your body - processing and dispersing nutrients and hydration and disposing of waste material.
Cleaning your gut is a big, important topic so we’ll keep looking at it in this blog edition. Also, this is just Week 2 of getting gut ready for the Holiday period so we’re still in cleaning mode.
The mantra for removing waste from your digestive system is take your time, take it easy, take it slow.

So screams the headlines this morning; what that doesnt tell us, of course, is the horrific pain caused to those left behind nor the agonising recovery path of those injured sooo
PLEASE PLEASE slow down, take more care, there are three people who will not see their loved ones at Christmas, who will not share in the banter and the (sometimes) very painful jokes.
Three people who their whanau will never see again
Slow down, take care, throw that phone in the back seat, pull over and take a nap if tired,
and we will ALL be around for Christmas

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.

“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”
