Poll: Increased speed limits - do we need them?

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

A 110kmh speed limit is to be introduced on some New Zealand roads.

With 245 deaths on our roads already this year, some are asking if more speed is the right answer.

Will an increased speed limit be a good thing for Kiwis?

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
