Poll: Is the government doing enough to support vulnerable communities throughout the Covid-19 pandemic?

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Community News

A food bank in south Auckland has seen the number of calls it receives triple in the latest lockdown, and it is struggling to cope with the demand for food parcels.

The government has offered the wage subsidy, interest free loans for small businesses and the Covid-19 income relief payment for people who have lost jobs in the pandemic.

Do you think the government is doing enough to support vulnerable communities in the Covid-19 pandemic?

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)
.
