Plugging in...to Christchurch East
The sound of the surf, the squeak of the swings, the protest of seagulls, the laughter of children– well you get the picture.
The Nissan Leaf has brought us noiselessly to coastal Christchurch East where we are taking soundings on party support and what is spinning people’s wheels.
We start in New Brighton where the surf is small and even, the breeze warm and where new boardwalks and hot water pools look inviting.
Allan Luchford is having a coffee in the mall, perhaps the saddest space in Christchurch.
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)
