Poll: Would you raise a pig to enter 'The People's Catergory"?

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

Pig breeders from the Selwyn and Ashburton district cleaned up at the show - bringing home the bacon in a bunch of categories.
Selwyn Swine's James Davidson called it "the people's category" after his syndicate won Supreme Champion All Breeds for their sow Amy Swinehouse.
Are you going to join the piggy-craze and raise next year's champion at your place?
Check out the story the Lowcliffe ladies who took top spot in their division of the pig category at the show here: www-alpha.stuff.co.nz...

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)
.
