"Online Table Topics" - join in!

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

Recently we introduced the sections of a Toastmasters meeting. One is "Table Topics", where members and guests are invited to speak for up to 2 minutes "off the cuff".

For the next few days, you're invited to participate in "Online Table Topics". We'll post a question each day and we'd like you to comment in response (it doesn't have to be 2 minutes long :) )

Today: When was the last time you tried something new?

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.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
