Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Kendall Hutt:

A man has been spoken to by police and issued a written warning after a group of people gathered for a church service on Sunday, in breach of alert level 3 rules.

Superintendent Jill Rogers, Counties Manukau District Commander, said police received reports the group had gathered at a Māngere East property for a church service.

Rogers said this involved multiple people who did not live there.

“A man was spoken to at the address around the risks to the public created by those who are not following the restrictions in place, and he was issued with a written warning in relation to this breach.”

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)
