Showing your support

The Team from Manawatu District Council

There are many ways where you can show your support, love and unity to mark one week since the devastating terrorist attacks in Christchurch.

🧡 The Feilding Farmers Market will be holding a minute's silence at 10am to show their love and support for the Muslim community, the people of Christchurch and their stallholders.

💛 At 1:32pm as a nation, there will be two minutes of silence to remember the fallen, the survivors and those affected on Friday 15 March.

💚 The #headscarfforharmony movement - New Zealanders of all religions are encouraged to wear headscarves or head covering. It aims to support and acknowledge the pain the Muslim community is suffering, and the grief New Zealanders share in the midst of tragedy.

💙 The #colouryourday movement - We encourage you to wear something colourful in your school, business and community.

"Our hearts are heavy, but our spirit is strong."

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.
