A son discovers his father was a war hero

Mandy Te Reporter from Western Leader

Hi neighbours, a man found out his father was a war hero only after his death. When Graham Hanson's dad died in 1999, he inherited his dad's letters, tickets stubs, a used serviette, dirty letters sent to girlfriends, and even a bus ticket up to Trieste. His father never spoke about his efforts in the war and his children never asked. Watch the video and read the story.

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)
.
