Port Hills Fires
Fire crews, including 12 helicopters, are continuing to battle two fires covering around 700 hectares on Christchurch's Port Hills.

Please stay well away from the area and off the roads - so that emergency services personnel can do their job and keep people safe.
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)
