Current Events - Australian Deportation Policy

The Australia Policy that Justice Minister Andrew Little and Deputy PM Winston Peters are concerned about is the policy about deportation. The policy is to remove some New Zealanders from Australia, sometimes without trial or charge. I think that they should not do that and only deport New Zealanders with trial or charge. I think the Trans Tasman relations will be affected because it would make the New Zealanders not want to go there in case they get deported. I think that right now the Trans Tasman relations are already good because the new Prime Minister seems to be getting along with New Zealand’s highest government members.

Why Businesses Are Good For Me And My Community

A business is an organization that produces goods such as chips, juice, plates, junk food and a whole

lot more, or services such as health services or haircuts. Businesses allow people to buy their stuff so

the business's profit. So to summarise that, a business is an organization that produces stuff for people

to buy so the organization can gain more money.

Businesses are good for me and my community because it allows us to buy goods that we need.

Sometimes, businesses in the community sell things for a lot cheaper than businesses outside the

local community, such as drinks, food, bread and more.

Another reason why businesses are good for me and my community is because it provides part time

jobs for students and full time jobs for adults. Having the job allows the adults to have enough money to

pay for their bills and also everything else they need.

Cybersmart

What it means to be cybersmart and why it is important?

Being cybersmart means being on the right thing at the right time and not giving out personal
information on the internet. It is important because a lot of things could go wrong.
For example, you click on something you’re not supposed to click, you could end up with a
virus on your device or an inappropriate pop up.

Two things you learnt about being cybersmart and how you could apply it to your own life

I learnt that if someone is cyberbullying you and you are planning on telling someone such as the principal at your school then you should have some type of evidence ready. For example, screenshots. I could apply this to my life by collecting evidence when I am getting cyberbullied.  
I learnt to only go on websites I am allowed to go on. I could apply this to my life by staying on task at school and not going on inappropriate websites at home.

Describe one of each:

A personal strategy a young person can do to help themselves if they are being cyberbullied

If I was being cyberbullied I would collect evidence and tell someone about it, such as the councillor.

A interpersonal strategy a young person can do to help their friend who is being cyberbullied

I could talk to my friend and tell them not to worry about it. Another thing I could also do is talk to the

bully and try to understand why they do these sort of things.

A personal strategy a young person who finds themselves bullying other young people can do to help build their self-esteem and change their behavior

They could talk to someone like a social worker and tell them their problems so the social worker

can help them to become a better person.

Tips to give to the year 6s about how they could become cybersmart

One tip I would give the Year 6’s is always stay on task during class time because a lot of people at their age like to muck around and play games during class time. Another tip I would give is being on the right thing at the right time. It’s similar to the first one but instead of just during class time, this important rule should apply both at school and at home.

Plastic Bag Ban

Today I read an article on the Government's decision to ban plastic bags.
I agree with the government's decision to ban plastic bags because it could prevent a lot of bad things from happening to the country for example, death upon animals, global warming and more.
The impact this will have on the country is it will give the country a decreased chance of pollution or global warming. The decision to ban plastic bags is smart because it helps make New Zealand safer and cleaner.
