🎇Please spare a thought for all of the animals🎇

Fiona from Henderson

Please think of the animals - they really suffer each and every year.
It doesn't help that there are some miscreants out there who will torment the animals with his stash of fireworks.
If you see ANYONE doing this or being irresponsible - report them to the police. Try and take photos or a video as proof.
Do you need to be firing all of your fireworks weeks or days in advance?
NO you don't!!
Do you need to be throwing them all over the place, just for ghits & shiggles?
NO - no one is laughing!!
I love a great fireworks display just as much as the next person, but it has now come time that there should only be professionally controlled fireworks displays now.
The recklessness and lack of consideration has become a thousand times worse of the last few years and the horrendously deafening noise from some of them - holy moly!!!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
