Our Negative Press
Has anyone noticed how depressing the 'news' are nowadays? We seem to be getting very little positive information, little, if any, good news. Even the weather is bad.
I looked at the first page on both the New Zealand Herald and Stuff a couple of moments ago and it was miserable:
NZH - 4 x crime, 3 x economic downturn, 1 x possible slave labour, 2 x gossip and 1 x agriculture.
Stuff - 1 x crime, 1 x debatable sacking, 1 x covid death, 1 x racism and 1 x sport.
New Zealand seems to be on the downhill spiral with nothing to look forward to. For goodness sake, let's have some happiness.
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)
.
