Waikanae Recycling Center Public Meeting: Volunteers Needed

Marie from Waikanae

Hi all, we are calling for volunteers to help us with the meeting on Sunday. We need people to help us set up and pack up the hall. This mainly involves setting out the chairs and putting them away again. We also need two people willing to act as fire wardens and one person with a current first aid certificate who is willing to be on standby if needed. These latter people would only be needed in an emergency. The set up and pack up would take about 20 minutes before and after the meeting. If you are willing to help, please message me with contact details. Thanks

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.
