Can we restore Masterton's urban biodiversity?

Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

Masterton and Wairarapa residents are invited to explore the possibility of developing our urban equivalents to Wellington City's Zealandia, Capital Kiwi and Predator Free aspirational initiatives.
Is it possible to again have within the town Rata and Rimu, Kaka and Kereru, the green Gecko or whatever?
Come, hear and discuss how it could happen with the Mayor and PROFESSOR BRUCE CLARKSON, a leading expert in the Government's National Science Challenge looking to the future of our towns and cities (Many will remember his great talk here a year or more back). He will tell us about ambitious pilots elsewhere in the country.
On Sunday August 18th at the Copthorne from 1-4pm.
Admission free.

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.
