Hello to the neighbours in my neighbourhood.
Hi,
How are you all today? Frankly speaking, without prejudice in my opinion I personally am proud of the Black Caps. They deserve to be recognized as Heros. It was a back to back game with England.
Both teams really played well. It would have been more painful for England if they would have lost in their own grounds in their own country. Still NZ being such a small nation had the other team 'pinned down', sort of speak.
Being a small nation with the Biggest Heart we are known around the world.
Our players, people living here in New Zealand are awesome.
Looking forward to seeing the Black Caps getting 'Champion Welcome' upon their return. ๐
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 wouldnโt be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

85.1% Yes
