Is the bad odour from the wastewater treatment plant still around?
Hi neighbours, is the "sour milk" smell from the treatment plant gone? The smell arose after problems formed inside the Māngere wastewater treatment plant's digesters. Watercare is confident the smell has disappeared but some residents are skeptical. What have you noticed? Can you still smell the "sour milk-like" smell in your area?

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)
.
