Covid level 4

Derek from Hornby

So we are in Level 4 for 4 more days before another update.
Hope you are all doing well. We have been here before and we can do this. If anyone is having a tough time feel free to call me on 0278740654. I am happy to listen and help where I can.
This is a time when we can do those things that we don't have time for normally. It's good that we can go for a walk and the weather report is good for the weekend.
Supermarkets are busy and in my opinion best avoided if possible. If you do go please think of others. Please don't get angry at supermarket staff if the stock does run out it's Not their fault if some people panic shop and take it all. We are told stock won't run out if we all only take what is needed just like in a normal shopping trip

Please keep the 2-metre distance if you do and don't forget to mask up

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
