Renters: Have you ever been asked for your bank statements?
Property managers in Auckland have been asking for bank statements from people trying to get into rental homes.
NZ First MP Darroch Ball says:
“The vulnerable, poor, young and desperate are being forced into forgoing their privacy in order to have the chance to secure a property."
*** Has this happened to you in Taupō? What have you been asked for, if anything? How do you feel about it?

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)
