It was also lovely to meet your husband whom, to my understanding, attended his very first toastmasters club meeting lastnight! 😮 very awesome👍👏

And lastly, can I do a shout out to Sonny who finished work a little early so I can borrow his car to get to Ngaio to witness this wonderful moment which I did not want to miss. Hope your boss didn't mind son and thanks heaps! ❤️

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.
