My dad

Glen from Central Whangarei

My dad is 92, he just wrote this little poem

I don't know what to do now that I'm 92
I'll have to wait and see when I turn 93

Perhaps I'll do much more when I am 94

And really come alive when I reach 95

Maybe I'll learn new tricks when I am 96

And not go up to Heaven just because I'm 97

Life will still be great when I am 98

And everything was just fine when I turn 99

Nothing rhymes with Hundred and so I'll have to say

I'll have a cold Waikato to celebrate the day

Dad

And not go up to Heaven just because I'm

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)
.
