October 2020 Project Update. In addition we are invited to choose between two route options for the rural section (see attached image) as well as provide detailed feedback for the project in an interactive tool, which allows us to drop pins on a map and add comments, start and join discussions, rank preferences, comment on options, and subscribe to updates. If we have something to say about SH1 and the project, here's our chance.
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)
.
