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)
.

Unbuckled children can become ‘missiles’ in a crash, police warn

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hundreds of Waikato children are not being properly strapped into cars, and police recently saw the effects in a crash where one became “a missile”.

Over the past three years, police found 1444 children being driven in Waikato with the incorrect restraints. That’s the second worst behind Auckland, showing the old adage of making it click is not clicking.
