Don't nark on your neighbours, community board member says

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

An Otago community board member is urging her community not to nark on their neighbours during these ''very strange times''.

Geraldine Tait wrote a column for the local newsletter, POWA (Progress of Waikouaiti Area), which has upset some residents.

However she defended her 'Don't nark on your neighbours' column, written late last month as tensions in the Otago community increased during Alert Level 4 lockdown requirements.

Read more about Geraldine's column here and tell us what you think about her comments below. Do you agree that we shouldn't 'nark on our neighbours' or do we need to watch out for those breaching the lockdown rules?

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)
.
