Hope for Hollie
Hollie Beattie is a beautiful 7 year old who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Neuroblastoma. Despite receiving treatment for the last 2 years, the doctors have advised that they have exhausted treatment options in NZ and the last remaining option for a cure is a trial treatment that will need to be undertaken in Spain.
The costs associated of this are estimated to be at least of $400,000.

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)
.
