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)

LOVELY CARER NEEDED😄 Possibly suited to student nurse/retired nurse

Helen from Totara Vale

For my lovely 89yo mum. Mostly mornings 2-3 days per week. 8am - 12pm. Making her breakfast, mid morning snack & lunch. Light cooking & cleaning duties. Washing dishes, cleaning bathroom, keeping her room & lounge tidy. 😄No showering as she has home help doing that. Suited to someone who is quietly spoken, good SOH, & loves caring for the elderly. Mum loves ❤️ company , watching her Chinese TV. If you could help, that would be totally awesome & greatly appreciated. Both of my previous carers are overseas till early next year. Days can be split between 2 people if need be. Call/text me 027 3862680. Cheers Helen😁
