Poll: Fishing for fish and "unique" rubbish in Marlborough Sounds

Rahul Bhattarai Reporter from Marlborough Express

What do you think of a spearfishing competition that not only judges best species caught but also the best piece of ocean rubbish fished out - to encourage cleaning of our oceans in a fun way?

The winner of Sounds Summer Slam Spearfishing competition next weekend will get a hand-carved South Island swordfish bill.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
