What do you think of Northport's expansion plans?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Whangārei's Marsden Point port, Northport, is getting ready to double in size - with a resource consent application set to be launched in September.
Despite being touted as a relocation option for Ports of Auckland, Northport's expansion has nothing to do with a Ports of Auckland move - which is still up in the air.
The expansion is all about making better use of the upper North Island's three ports, and allowing the comparatively young Northport to grow. What do you think?

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)
.
