"Poll: Do you support a by-law banning junk mail? Public
Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News
... has had replies disabled but I wish to shed a bit more light on the topic:"
A 'Eureka' moment:
I have just found a message hidden in the depths of my inbox - from our local council.
Seems this issue involves the entire Wellington region .. not just Wellington City.
Known as ... 'The Proposed Solid Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw'.
And every local council will have to create a 'plan'.
The Junk Mail issue is only a very small component of the entire plan.
Perhaps you could check your local council website for info relating to your area.
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)
.
