Oil dropping like a stone.
Oil dropped another $4 US overnight bringing up $$7 for the week. Oil is now almost $50 US from an Oct high of $86 US so expect another 5 cents per litre drop in petrol very soon. US share market got burnt again last night so its down 13-14% the last 3 months which is only the start. Have a good Xmas while the sun is shinning , can't complain about anything.. Get in early to beat the rush tomorrow for those boxing day specials or relax at Oreti beach or go and have a chili eating bath.
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)
.
