Leopard seals become New Zealand residents

Danielle Clent Reporter from North Shore Times

Hi neighbours, did you know that leopard seals have been reclassified and are now considered permanent residents? NIWA cetacean biologist Dr Krista Hupman said she was delighted by the change and it meant leopard seals, like Owha, could now safely spend their days sunning on marina pontoons.

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.
