MOU between Kaipātiki Local Board & Pest Free Kaipātiki
Last week the Kaipātiki Local Board hosted the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Pest Free Kaipātiki and Auckland Council, and I was proud to sign it on behalf of the Kaipātiki Local Board. Congratulations to Jo Knight, chair of Pest Free Kaipātiki, and everyone who has worked so hard over a number of years to get to this point, including Richard Hursthouse, Keith Salmon and David Roberts.
The MOU is the formalisation of what has already proven to be a fruitful and collaborative partnership, and will enable Council to better support Pest Free Kaipātiki with the enormous task of eradicating pest plants and predators from our bush reserves and preventing the spread of kauri dieback. This fantastic work could not be completed without this huge group of dedicated volunteers. Thankyou to everyone involved!
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)
