Drive safely this Easter - please!
Seven kiwis died on the roads last Easter. Seven families devastated. Countless other people affected by injury or by grief.
Back off the speed. Don't tailgate or bully other road-users. Stay off the phones and for God's sake don't text and drive. Stay sober and drug free. Avoid fatigue. Stay between the lines and remember to indicate. Watch out for cyclists, pedestrians and those morons who can't figure out how to turn their headlights on when it gets dark or when it rains hard.
Let's aim for zero fatalities this year.
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)
.
