Have you joined in fun of the Greytown Festival of Christmas?
There's plenty of festival fun this weekend with a Greytown Christmas Market in the Town Hall
on Saturday from 10am till 3pm. Stock up on olive oils, plants, honey, arts and crafts, soaps, jewellery, beauty products, wooden handmade bowls and all sorts of other locally made products. 31 stall holders will be there. Meanwhile at Cobblestones there's a family fun day on with games and activities to join in. Martin Bosley's Yellow Brick Road Oyster Saloon pops up outside Pinnochio on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm and there's a whole new light projection show to see on the colonial buildings as soon as it's dark. It's really putting a sparkle into this winter. Come and see it!
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)
.
