Drive safe Hamilton
A drive to the supermarket, takeaways, or a pharmacy is still a drive. So please, take care and respect every road user’s right to be on the road, especially more vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists.
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)
