Living in a motel aaarrrggghhh!

Madena from South Dunedin

Hey neighbours!
My family and I are currently living in a motel (have done for 3 1/2 months) through transitional housing. As you can imagine we are desperate to get out.
My partner and I have 3 girls 5, 3 and 2 plus one small shitzu (who cannot stay with us while in the motel 🙁) , we would prefer to have some sort of parking but it isn't essential. The girls attend kindy and school in the south end of dunedin so not wanting to move to far away, we are considering any of the flat suburbs out this way (as I don't drive so want to be in walking distance of the girls destinations ) e.g caversham,south dunedin, st Kilda, st clair, forbury, andersons bay, Musselburgh, tainui somewhere around these areas. We are struggling with property managers as they can't see past a credit rating (😣)so would prefer a private landlord. We are very reliable and friendly people who can provide plenty of refernces to a lovely landlord who is willing to give us a chance and get us out of this motel! Feel free to share this around.
I can send Contact details through private message also!
Thank you everyone

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.
