Poll: The berm ultimatium

Reporter Kapi-Mana News

Council staff have been accused of taking particular interest in ticketing cars parked on berms around the city this year, sometimes during busy parking times outside sport games.
What do people think about this? People should obey the law, but is it really much of an issue to warrant giving people fines?

*Please put an NFP with your thoughts if you'd rather they weren't possibly used in a news article!*

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)
.
