What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?
How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.
But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.
What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
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)
