Hilarious moment politician joins council meeting from bathroom
The moment a New Zealand councilwoman joined an online council meeting from her bathroom has gone viral, leaving internet users in stitches. To make matters worse, City Councillor Jo Galer’s washing was also on full display as it dried behind her. While some people would have died of embarrassment, it was Galer’s nonchalant response to the situation that really grabbed people’s attention. According to the ‘New York Post’, Mayor Sophie Barker immediately addressed the situation and let Galer know that her washing was on full display for the entire livestream.

Would South Africans benefit from an official Men’s Day?
A new bill aimed at addressing absent fatherhood and mental health issues affecting men has been proposed. According to The Citizen, Nikita Harris from Legacy Nation said that when men step up, “households stabilise and communities heal”. This is exactly what she hopes to achieve with her MENPOWERED campaign and the proposed Responsible Parenthood Bill. The new bill argues that having an official day dedicated to men could help address issues unique to men, as well as those affecting children and families. The Responsible Parenthood Bill aims to establish an official Men’s Day on 26 June, aligning it with the anniversary of the 1952 Defiance Campaign.
