Man behind proposal for 18-lane Auckland Harbour Bridge seeks local board seat

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Central Leader

The man behind a proposal to upgrade Auckland’s Harbour Bridge into an 18-lane superstructure is running for local government.

Lawyer Will McKenzie said he gained confidence in his ideas while working as John Tamihere’s policy advisor in his 2019 run for the Auckland mayoralty.

McKenzie will contest the Albert-Eden Local Board by-election against lawyer and transport advocate Bernadette Power, who calls his ideas “far-fetched”.

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.
