CHLORINE FREE WATER for Napier
Why would we spend $178 million but still end up with permanently chlorinated water when we could achieve exemption from mandatory chlorination if we pay extra? Do you want PERMANENTLY CHLORINATED WATER or CHLORINE FREE WATER for Napier? To vote: www.neighbourly.co.nz... The rough estimate to go fully chlorine free is an extra $50-$100million. Many Napier people suffer painful skin conditions they never had before the chlorine was added. Another part of the problem we’ve had since 2017 is that chlorine oxidizes with the manganese from some bore water and, instead of being flushed annually down the gutter, the chlorine-manganese sludge comes out the kitchen tap.
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)
