Re: 'Property Rights and the Environment': Page 4 UH Leader dated August 19:
"On 23 July government pushed the URBAN DEVELOPMENT ACT (UDA) through Parliament. The UDA creates a fast track process to enable the Government to take over private land and public reserves and pass them on to private developers, just under a Minister's signature.
On the same day, Government issued a National Policy Statement (NPS) on Urban Development. The NPS restricts rights of local authorities to set their own planning policies." etc
I haven't checked out UHCC website yet ... but what do others think?

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)
