Thank you team NZ for keeping the old mug here again and making us all proud to be Kiwi's and to help us take our minds away from the dreaded Covid -19 for a while. But I also want to say a big thank you to the Luna Rosa Team whom have lived and worked alongside us Kiwi's to help keep the cup event alive even through this pandemic is causing havoc back in their homeland your crew and support people would have been worried day by day for friends and family back home but then having to keep focused on trying to win the America's cup, you may have lost the race but you have won a place in kiwis hearts and we hope that you will come back next time to race us again.

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)
