Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Do you know?
Plane Sense is a local community group pushing back on an unlawful flight path change. This time it’s our community, next time it could be yours.
The affected residents have a legitimate expectation that Wellington Airport (having public law responsibilities) would consult before any proposal to divert aircraft over their suburbs. The consultation they are now offering was required by law BEFORE the DMAPs flight path change was developed.
Change is divisive, so it's frustrating that a proper consultation process didn't happen before implementing the DMAPs flight path change. We are arguing a lack of fair process before the change. If the residents had been consulted beforehand, they could have had a say before the status quo for the last 60 years was altered. Those residents, who knew a change in noise would be an issue for them and their health, could have had their say and been considered.
Plane Sense is holding Wellington International Airport Airways New Zealand, Civil Aviation Authority of NZ and Wellington City Council (as a shareholder) to account for a change over the northern suburbs on 1 December 2022. As well as significant legal issues, there are public health and safety concerns for residents and our local environment. Plane Sense is fundraising to commence a judicial review. Have questions?

Feijoa fundraising – thanks for the support
This message is just to express thanks to all the people who responded to my fundraising post www.neighbourly.co.nz...
The fundraising has made a significant dent in the cost of my ballet winter school fees.
I will probably have feijoas available for the next couple of weeks if anyone wants some more...
Cheers, Gemma.
