Wairarapa and Lower Hawke’s Bay veterans of World War One

Sean from Carterton District

As part of this year’s 100 years since the Armistice the Masterton RSA had crosses made for each of the people who had died overseas during that war from the wider area. These were displayed in Masterton over the past four years. They were offered to relatives following the centenary and a number were presented at the Masterton RSA tonight 4 December 2018. I collected the one for my father’s cousin who was in the Cycling Corps and now buried in France. There are still over 200 that are unclaimed. Please contact the Masterton RSA for further details who will keep them until Anzac Day 2019. After that it was agreed to leave them on Trust with the local Menz Shed (who made them) and they will pass them also onto relatives. It was a lovely ceremony.

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.
