Do you agree with new fuel taxes to tackle congestion and the road toll?

Simon Smith Reporter from Nor-west News

Should motorists pay up? The Government is proposing a fuel tax increase across the country of between 9 and 12 cents a litre in order to fund rapid rail and bring down road deaths. Aucklanders are also in line for another 10 cent a litre increase to help sort out the city's traffic problems. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

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)
