Three generations on an island in our Hauraki Gulf

Iain from Devonport

Why do we only recognise a "climate emergency" when it's right in front of us, when our playing fields begin to drown, as is evident now in Little Shoal Bay?

Sue Neureuter's "Stories of The Noises" at 3pm this Sunday (8/9) at Sunnynook Community Centre, 148 Sycamore Drive, is about one family's experience of a changing Gulf over three generations. A very personal and moving account supported with images and sound. Entry is FREE. Here's a link to that event on Neighbourly, www.neighbourly.co.nz...

Here is Brad Flahive's coverage of Little Shoal Bay's significant issues: www.stuff.co.nz...

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
