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.

Perfect for small gardens, patios, or balconies - give it a try and watch your tomatoes thrive this spring! 🌿
