Queensland fruit fly activities
With the warmer winter and spring approaching, our Queensland fruit fly baiting work has begun again.
Our staff will be letting homeowners know if they need to enter properties and if they have been on properties.
Restrictions are still in place on the movement of locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Check what this means for you at biosecurity.govt.nz/queenslandfruitfly
We know it’s an inconvenience, but the work is vital for our horticultural industries and back yard fruit trees.
Thanks for your support, we cannot do this without you.
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)
.
