Ban Public sales of Fireworks

Ban public sales of Fireworks.



Unfortunately there is too much misuse of fireworks by people that buy them.



The main problem is people stock up , then let them off at inappropriate times during the year.



As well as the amount of fire damage and extra pressure on medical services.



Also there is often a litter problem in public places.



What is the environmental impact from the gases from the burning of the fireworks?



Maybe the Government doesn't want want to ban public sales of fireworks because it gets revenue from the sales in taxes!



Public displays are far better quality and are at a set time.



Why is this important?

It protects our environment!

It stops noise pollution at inappropriate times!

saves extra pressure on fire service and Medical services

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
