Mosquitos!!
I'm a little bit over not being able to open doors in the evenings or even go into the shaded garden during the day because of darn mosquitos!
The CCC won't do anything about them but perhaps if we all do one simple thing it may help. Please check all around your properties for water sitting in containers like flower pots, old tyres behind the shed etc or anything that will hold water. If you have anything like that with water in it, if you look closely you will possibly see little wrigley larvae in the water. Please empty it out! Also, for any of your neighbours not on Neighbourly, perhaps mention it to them next time you are chinwagging over the fence!
Many thanks!
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)
.
