Chinese bottling plant in Belfast, taking billions of litres of NZ water to china in plastic bottles.
I am really really upset about the water bottling plant in Belfast. My concerned questions are 1 if john key as prime minister can change the spy bill to please himself, surely the government can change the 20 year old water rights law. 2.. Water restrictions this summer, Is the water bottling plant going to have the same restrictions that the local people have. 3. This is theft of our water and a social injustice. 4. i will not be obeying any water restrictions whatsoever if this ludicrous plant continues.

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)
.
