Masks signed by Jacinda Ardern and Ashley Bloomfield to be auctioned for charity
Here's a chance to own a unique piece of New Zealand history, commemorate 2020 and support charity all in one.
The Rangiora Lions Club, in North Canterbury, is auctioning two framed face masks signed by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield.
The masks feature phrases commonly uttered at the daily 1pm Covid-19 briefings: “Be kind” and “Kia ora koutou katoa.”
All proceeds will go to Blind Low Vision NZ, formerly known as the Blind Foundation. The masks are being auctioned on Trade Me.
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)
