Hands around Buller Hospital
On Friday 18th August at 12.15 a "Hands around the Buler Hospital" Westport protest is taking place with as much support needed as can possibly be mustered to show the districts and nations opposition to the proposed new hospitals concept and ownership model. Westport is the test drive dummy for a pilot scheme which goverment wants to roll out in other districts with minimal, or no local community consultation which has been the case for Westport residence. If attendance isn't possible on Friday 18th, support emails directed to the Westport Mayor Mr Gary Howard at Buller District Council voicing your concerns would be of huge importance along with your local MP. This Goverment lead inititative is not in the best interest's of communities it is seeking to force their scheme on. Major media attention is need in WESTPORT on the 18th to bring attention and a national voice to Residents concerns so all thoughts welcomed.
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)
