Photos

Chris from Linwood

Hi all, has been a while since I posted any photos of our lovely region, so here are 4 taken in November - first two are long exposures taken on a walk around Cass Bay, next is a weak but still quite colourful catch of the Aurora Australis taken on 8th Nov, and last a B&W long exposure of the Avon river near Millbrook reserve off Harper Avenue. All shot with a Sony A99V with a 31 year old Minolta 20mm f/2.8 lens - used a Hoya ND400 neutral density filter to allow long exposure during the daytime photos...

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
