Noise
Just a kind reminder to be respectful of neighbours while having parties in the weekend etc. We had to call noise control 5 times in the weekend due to people partying until 4am! My 10 month old son didn't sleep until 2am because their music was so loud it rattled the windows. Noise control wasn't much help until the very last time I called at 3am. Even a simple knock on the door explaining there will be a party or a note with a phone number for any problems would have been good we could have texted to ask the music to be turned down. In the end noise control issued a $700 fine.
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)
.
