Poll: Should Auckland's popular Takapuna Beach be dog-free?

Reporter North Shore Times

A runner who was "hit full force" and injured by an excited labradoodle-type dog at a popular Auckland beach is hitting out at the council.

Belmont woman Stacey Hart had just started her run on Tuesday, shortly after 10am, a time when dogs are prohibited on Takapuna beach, when she was hit below the legs and knocked onto hard sand.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
