Sheeran For A Million

Michael from Trentham

Fabulous singer, songwriter Ed is coming knocking at your door next February - or at least starting his Australasian tour at Sky Stadium in Wellington.
So it is going to cost the paying public $200 (incl booking/cc fees) each to take it all in with Ed doing his stuff from centre of the footie field.
You can discount the other fewer and cheaper options as even the awe inspiring Sheeran is too small to see clearly from a distance - he is not a towering giant like a NBA basketball player nor a pudgy overweight AB rugby prop. Quite the opposite really.
Well, I suppose it is cheaper than taking in a major concert in Auckland for us Wellingtonians - when you total up airfares, accomodation, other travel costs, food plus the price of the show which not too long ago use to be around $100 less than Ed Sheeran's "minders" in Wellington are demanding.

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.
