Have you ever slipped on a banana skin?
A Neighbourly member woman is warning that slipping on a banana skin is no joke, after serious injuries from a slip left her in treatment for over a year.
Elizabeth van Wyk, from Takapuna, was pushing a trolley in the carpark of her local supermarket on Valentine's Day 2018 when she took a tumble. The culprit that caused her slip? A single rogue banana skin. You can read her story here.
Has something like this happened to you before? Do you think supermarkets should take more care to prevent these kinds of injuries?

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)
