Keep safe this summer
Barbecues are the focal point for a lot of Summer entertaining. Here is a few helpful tips to keep your Whanau safe while BBQ'n.
- If you've got bubbles, you've got troubles. Before using your BBQ, check your BBQ for gas leaks using the soapy water test.
- Keep looking while you are cooking!
- Don't Drink and Fry. Have a drink after the cooking is done.
- Don't add flammable fluid to an already lit fire.
- Never BBQ in enclosed areas.
- Dispose of hot coals properly and douse them in plenty of water.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
