School children not standing up for adults on buses
At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old lady, I just want to voice my opinion on school children not standing up for adults, and in particular the elderly and pregnant women. I went to Epsom Girls Grammar and we were told that we were not to go to school on the bus with our uniform on and stay seating while and adult had to stand. Are children are not told this anymore? I see children staying seated while the elderly stand. This morning two children in uniform were sitting with their parents who said nothing. Yesterday I offered my seat for a pregnant lady a lot younger than myself while children sat. Please, we should be teaching children the same manners we were taught.

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)
