day progressed family and friends left as they could not stand the noise
I rung council several times.my daughter called council at midnight to be told she was 28th in the line 45 mins later phone was answered.same again at 2am after noone showing. next day she rung back to enquire on

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)
.
