I'm here to help a business at Short Notice

Michelle from Gulf Harbour

If anyone has a air bnb type lodging near Auckland CBD available for Saturday night for me, my mum and my friend, I have a budget of $100 to spare. I am a single mum, don't get out much and I've been lucky to be invited out to a gig! We live in Gulf Harbour and as everyone knows it's a b***h to get any transport here and back so getting accommodation in the city is probably the smarter option but... even on Booking.com the bloomin places are super pricey and gross too. We'd need parking for 1 car. Or, we could make our way there via public transport and travel back on Sunday. My car's power steering has gone but kind of drive-able; mum's car is making a rattling noise. We are not the kind of people who ask for help and try and muddle through as best we can, so thus is not a sob story I promise!

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)
.
