Poll: Agapanthus - pretty flower or ugly weed?

Jay Boreham Reporter from Rodney Times

Agapanthus is one of Kiwi gardeners' most popular flowers, but it could be argued the southern African plant is also our most visible invasive weed.
It's a major threat to native plants, and some councils list it as a pest species. Did you know it was a weed? And do you think it needs eradicating, or is it a welcome addition to your garden?

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.
