Fire leaves family with eight children 'homeless'
Hi neighbours, a family with eight children are homeless after a fire destroyed their home. This is the second tragedy they have faced as their grandmother died recently. The family had been been asleep when flames ripped through their home on Monday. Everyone made it out but the children, all under 13, are traumatised by the experience.

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)
