Post mentioning “Shared water from artesian bores”
A few weeks ago I read someone’s post here on neighbouly about somwhere in Christchurch where people the propety owners or occupants( I think it was a celebration house or something like that) allowed access to the water to those wanting to collect from their bore. I did not write down the address as I had not tasted the tap water or had any issues with it at the time. I strongly regret my oversight now as the present tap water is having very perceptible ill effects on my health. Could the person who posted that message or anyone who remembers the contents, be so kind as to repeat the address. I do not know how to go back far enough to look for the messages on this site. Thank you for your help. May we all soon have drinkable water without any added chemicals! Cheers. Juanita.
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)
