Emergency Budget Rates Question Results
Thankyou to everyone who took the time to submit on the Auckland Council's Emergency Budget. It received the highest number of responses since the SuperCity was formed, with 34,915 submissions across Auckland and 1,545 from Kaipātiki.
Here are the results of the rates increase question for the Kaipātiki Local Board area (bar graphs), and the whole of Auckland (pie chart).
For Kaipātiki, the top bar graph includes all feedback received; the second bar graph excludes pro forma submissions (feedback forms produced by groups).
Even though Council specifically asked about 2.5% vs 3.5% increase, you were able to give feedback on any percentage, and the results reflect that many people did.

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)
