Election Special on East FM this Sunday morn

Phil from East Tamaki Heights

Hi everyone, PJ here. Being a community radio station, East FM is not political, but for two hours this Sunday morning we’ll be talking about the results of this Saturday’s New Zealand general election, being described as the most important in our nation’s history.

I’ll report the polling day results from across the country, talk live to candidates who stood in East Auckland electorate races, and provide analysis of what has been a very long and exhausting campaign – in these unsettling and challenging Covid-19 times.

Please join me, PJ Taylor, for the East FM Election Special, this Sunday, October 18, from 8am to 10am (NZ time).

Station manager Mike Rowse will produce the East FM Election Special, in the show slot that he usually DJ’s the Rockin’ Breakfast.

You have until 7pm on Saturday, October 17, to exercise your democratic right and vote in the general election and in the two referendums.

East FM, East Auckland's vibrant community-driven volunteer public service radio station, broadcasts on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on NZ app Radio Schmadio.

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.
