Massive new mural in Masterton! Check it out, it's almost finished.

Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

A huge Kokomai Mural is going up in Masterton this week in Bannister Street at the back of Warehouse Stationery.
Artist Gina Kiel said:
"My piece is inspired by the original name of the central Masterton - Whakaoriori - After learning about this I was immediately inspired, as a mother, I myself
have sat with my baby and listened to the birds while singing him to sleep. I feel a great sense of calm every time I visit the Wairarapa, I have visited with
my son many times and I feel honoured to create art here in this central area of Masterton which has much meaning."

Local students were also down on site having a workshop in “graffiti art”

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.
