Published date: 7 Nov 2018
Petition request
That the House of Representatives pass legislation to ban the sale of fireworks to the public for private use.
Petition reason
Fireworks create mayhem and destruction, causing fires, injuries, and damage. They scare animals, and cause grief to homeowners. People set off fireworks at all times of the year - not just at Guy Fawkes - and all hours of the night, 7 days a week.
Signatures are now being accepted

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)
