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)
.

What do you think about this car park's condition?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Tokoroa local says the car park at Tokoroa Hospital is a “third world” shambles and is not a good look for the town’s public medical centre.

Olaf Langhenkel said the state of the car park, which is riddled with potholes and past attempts at repair, had been deteriorating for around five years and nothing had been done about it.
