🌧🌧🌧 So much more rain is needed 🌧🌧🌧

Fiona from Henderson

The old nursery rhyme that starts off with:
🎵Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day🎵

Please rain, don't listen to us - WE NEED YOU NOW!!!
We need you to rain continuously for days/weeks - not heavily, but continuously - PLEASE.

I've just looked at the Dam levels and we will need to get all the rain dances happening right now, otherwise we will AGAIN be in a whole world of hurt come summer time.
Check for yourselves: aucklandwatersupply.co.nz...

Please keep up with all of the water saving ideas that you are using or have read; I personally DO NOT want to go through another water shortage during summer and nor do all of the gardens (veggies and flowers).

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.
