🎁 GIFT CRITERIA:
- For ages 0 - 16 years
- Unwrapped
- New condition

Please drop off gifts to the Vinnies Newtown Hub or a Vinnies op shop by 27 November (we’ll still be accepting donations throughout December).

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.
