My most BEAUTIFUL dreamcatcher to date. πŸ˜ƒ It's SO BEAUTIFUL I think I'm gonna keep it. πŸ˜ƒ

Sharon from Te Atatu South

Made with a piece of curly silver ribbon I found on the lawn left by the birds on my birthday (the Monday just gone!!!) wrapped round some loops of 24 gauge wire (forms the hoop), some transparent 0.5mm thick stretchy jelly elastic (the web part, and the tie to the safety pin, which I Blu-Tacked onto a shelf of my computer table! πŸ˜ƒ) and some very thin transparent nylon thread (to attach the feathers), some iridescently-painted transparent odd-shaped glass beads from a packet, and some white feathers (also shed by the pigeons on the front lawn). πŸ˜ƒ

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.
