To ALL our wonderful loving and caring DEAR MOTHER'S on this special day.
A MOTHER is an angel walking in human form on Earth to take care of human beings who needs somebody to look after them. She is the most selfless person in this world who always keeps her family before her and considers a top priority. Her children are her biggest possessions which she always wants to keep in front of her eyes and bestow them with good morals and values which will make them responsible individuals in the near future. Here are some inspirational quotes:

"To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow."
"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts."
"No language can express the power and beauty and heroism of a mother's love."

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)
