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)
.

Stunning Outdoor Transformation – Before & After"
Check out this incredible project where we tackled everything from agapantha removal and walkway cleanup to concrete installation and fresh garden beds! Our team also added some beautiful timber edging, riverstone accents, and gave the fence a brand-new look with fresh paint. We love seeing the difference a well-planned makeover can make!
