Have you checked your lifejacket?
Boaties are being urged to check their lifejackets before going out on the water.
Old kapok lifejackets, not made since the 1980s, are still being discovered even though they should have been destroyed by now. Gas cylinders in inflatable lifejackets can also corrode and leak if they are not checked.
Manufacturers recommend that lifejackets should be replaced after 10 years.

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)
