Family of three living in cabin a month after losing everything in Auckland floods
One month on from Auckland’s devastating record-breaking rain, some of those affected are still picking up the pieces.
Catherine Beggs and her family were forced to swim to safety in waist-deep water on the night of January 27.
They returned home the following day to find they had lost all their personal belongings in the deluge - including their recently renovated home in Mt Roskill.
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)
