Thank you Bernard Hickey for sharing Electoral Commission voter enrolment data..... Showing the low enrolment levels of young folks.... But also there are more people over 70 enrolled to vote than are eligible!! #NZPol #Aotearoa #NewZealand
Bar chart showing four bars for each of six age groups. The first bar is estimated total number eligible to vote in that group; the second bar is those enrolled on the general roll, the third is those enrolled on the Māori roll, and the final of the four bars is total enrolled in that age group.

For those aged 18 to 24 it looks like only just over half are enrolled to vote.

For those over 70, the total number enrolled to vote is taller than the total eligible voters.

When you buy a plant tunnel and, although you've read the length, you didn't read the height or width and it's way bigger than you thought! It's a two row vege shelter! Bonus!! #Gardening #VegeGardening

A mysterious organ in the sperm whale's head gives it the power to sink ships
A survivor of the shipwreck that inspired the novel Moby Dick had a theory about how a sperm whale could destroy a vessel many times its size – 200 years later, he's been proved right.
