Waitematā DHB's compassionate $50 parking tickets

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

The Waitematā District Health Board will introduce new $50 compassionate parking tickets next month, for those visiting the hospital facing extreme circumstances. Board chair Judy McGregor said weekly parking would usually cost more than $140. So, will the $50 tickets provide enough relief for those with friends and family facing sickness? What else should be done? Let us know in the comments!

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.
