Vaccination uptake in our area
I'm stoked to see that my sleepy little hometown One Tree Point (aka Marsden Bay) is currently leading the vaccination uptake in Northland, with 89.9% first shots and 81.4% second shots. I hope we can eventually get it to 95% or higher for full vaccinations, given that we usually see a huge influx of visitors over the holidays.
Quite a few Whangārei suburbs make the top 20 at the moment. See image below for a screenshot of Ministry of Health data, as of 3-Nov 2021. The percentages are hiding in the two rightmost columns, as the number of doses per 1,000 people.

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)
