Pea weevil restrictions

Biosecurity New Zealand

Restrictions are still in place in the Wairarapa.

We have successfully reduced the number of pests invading our plants, but we still need your help to eradicate this completely.

So please, no pea planting, no pea seeds and no pea straw.

This pest has the potential to destroy pea crops, so restrictions are for both commercial and residential growers. With your help, we can eradicate pea weevil completely.

If you see peas growing, get in touch: 0800 80 99 66, or biosecurity.govt.nz/peaweevil Find out more

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)
.
