Mercury's electric car Evie
Good morning everyone, I just wanted to let everyone, who is interested in electric cars, know, that Mercury's electric car Evie, which is a '57 Ford Fairlane, is on show at our Ford showroom at Pacific Motor Group. I'm sure you've all seen the ad on TV and the car is even more impressive 'in the flesh'. 5.5m long, 2.2m wide and weighing in at 2.2 tonnes. Come and see her and have your picture taken behind the steering wheel. Our address is 52 Porowini Ave, right next door to Mitre 10. Evie will be here until Monday. Hope to see you all. Kind regards, Jude.
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)
.
