A 'spinning orbit' on display.

Steph Rangi Reporter from Taupō Times

A local artist is choosing not to let her mental illness define her - instead, Xanthe Wyse takes to a canvas and illustrates what is going on in her head.
She says it's time to lose the stigma around mental health and to raise awareness.

- What do you know about Mental Health?
- Do you think there needs to be more awareness raised around it?

Type NFP if you do not wish for your comments to be used in print.

*An exhibition showcasing Xanthe's artwork will open Monday, October 8, 6 pm at Red Rock Gallery.

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.
