MECOSS Community Networking Meetings

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Welcome to Level 2.
With gatherings limited to just ten people at this stage, it will not be possible to hold our scheduled Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting on 29 May, at the Old Flat Bush School Hall in Flat Bush.
Once group numbers are extended, MECOSS will resume its monthly Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking Meetings and Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meetings.

Kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui - to be strong, be brave, be steadfast, in the face of the threat.

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.
