This should be on all public benches and hand rails

Fiona from Henderson

I've seen these little tabs of genius in a few places and if I'm honest, it took me a wee moment to work what they are for, OK, my man told me😏
They are to discourage skateboarders, scooters etc ... from mounting the benches.
Brilliant idea.
Now if only all councils will incorporate them on the public benches and handrails, however I'm sure that they will say it's a cost issue 😒

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)
.
