Poll: Do you think the six-week South Waikato closure is needed?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

www.waikatotimes.co.nz...
|The country’s main north/south artery is set to be cut south of Tokoroa for six weeks|, sparking disbelief from the truckies and workers using it daily and now facing long detours.

They say they don’t understand why State Highway 1 between Tokoroa and Kinleith has to be closed, and felt proposed detours were unsuitable to handle the tens of thousands of extra vehicles using them during the closure.

Do you think the six-week South Waikato closure is needed? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

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)
.
