About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Our 8pm screening will be the UK Drama directed by Ken Loach, The Old Oak.

Charcoal Brazil, (English Subtitles), 2023 Comedy/Thriller, 105 mins, Rated M

In the Brazilian countryside, a family straining under the financial burden of caring for their sick grandfather are quietly offered a deal. Their bills will be covered if they take in a lodger.

They agree and it seems like their prayers have been answered but they then discover their guest is a drug lord who has faked his death. The family must pretend all is okay as they work to get their old lives back.

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members.

Disability funding. Rules have changed overnight

Glen from Central Whangarei

Massive changes have been announced for disability funding. Rules have changed overnight, and restrictions enforced immediately with no warning—those with severely disabled children. Mums and dads are on duty 24/7 and looking after dependent children; these people are the first target.

Massive changes have been announced for disability funding. Rules have changed overnight, and restrictions enforced immediately with no warning—those with severely disabled children. Mums and dads are on duty 24/7 and looking after dependent children; these people are the first target.

Our government targeting the weakest in society for cuts. Just nasty


Now, MSD is going to target give-a-little pages supporting sick people.
.
This is going to lead to more suicides, poverty-related crime, and more desperation.

More learning disabled in jail.

I have this radical idea called early intervention, which involves teaching children to read and write in schools, not jails.

I wrote about disabled people and marginalisation, and here is my book titled.
