NOISE!
I have some idiot motorcyclists revving up their motorbikes in front of the traffic lights within 10 metres from my house, while I am working from home using Google Meet!!!!!
If you are a motorcyclist and waiting for the lights in a residential area, please be mindful of people using videoconferencing at home nearby as it disturbs people trying to do business or teaching.
The current lockdown is preventing some of us from going to our usual place of work. Please be considerate of excessive noise in residential areas of Auckland.
Anyone else struggling with unnecessary excessive noise while videoconferencing during the day?

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)
