**** What a fantastic response! We've reached our max capacity for Sunday already! I think if we add any more visitors it'll affect the viewing/hearing ability & we don't want anyone leaving disappointed! Thanks to all that have registered - if by chance you can't make it please let us know, there's still a lot of interest coming in. If you've RSVP on Facebook or Neighbourly but haven't yet made contact you're still on the list, please message through with your contact details & suburb you're coming from so we can add it to our registration in advance. 🍁🍂🍎 ****

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.
