Think Rotarian, Think Again
Rotary gives me diverse ways to serve my local community, country and overseas. Great fun and company. I’ve packed food boxes, played badminton with kids, organized a market stall and loads more.
It fits in with my variable lifestyle. I’m a landscape designer. I can pick and choose what events I attend, and generally there is no obligation to turn up. I appreciate the tactful guidance and support the Rotarians with expertise give me.
I find the speakers who come to our Friday morning meetings interesting, and the food is good too.
I’m a kiwi lady in my 50’s .
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)
.
