Cemeteries Management Plan - 'Quick Poll' results

Simone Borgstede from Wellington City Council

A big thank you to everyone who took part in our recent 'Quick Poll' asking: should plastic decorations be banned from the city’s cemeteries?
The results are now in - 58% of people answered yes, 39% answered no, and 3% were unsure.
You can read poll summary at: www.letstalk.wellington.govt.nz......
We’d like to stress that we aren’t contemplating an outright ban at this stage. Quick Polls are just one of the ways we are seeking your feedback.
Our formal consultation on a draft Cemeteries Management Plan will open later in the year.

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)
.
