Protection for Scandinavians cemetery
One of the most important Pākehā heritage sites in Wairarapa is to get some protection.
Many of the hardy Danes, with names like Gunder Gundersen and Lars Larsen, who settled in the Wairarapa, are buried in a picturesque hill top burial ground in Mauriceville West – nestled in the hinterland halfway between Masterton and Eketāhuna.
The Lutheran Church that stood on the site was taken away a year ago and the future of the cemetery was in doubt, but Masterton District Council has agreed to looking after the cemetery.
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)
