Fire on Tongariro Street this morning

Neighbourly from Neighbourly.co.nz

Around 50 firefighters battled a blaze that engulfed a block of shops in Taupō.

Fire authorities were yet to pinpoint the exact location the fire started, but said it was likely either the sushi shop or an adventure clothing store.

Police have closed down Tongariro St, in the central Taupō, after the commercial block - opposite the riverside domain - went up in flames at 1.15am on Friday.

It appeared the fire had been contained to two of the three shops, causing extensive damage to a food outlet and retail store. Read more here

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)
.
