Andrew Bydder eyes Waipā mayoralty after sweary submission
The city councillor censured after a foul-mouthed submission to Waipā District Council, including a jibe at mayor Susan O’Regan, is now seriously considering running for her job.
Councillor Andrew Bydder - a Waipā-based architectural designer - said on Friday he’d been asked by “dozens” of fellow locals to run for mayor at next year’s council elections.
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)
.
