Melissa Smith for City Council West Ward

Melissa from Pukete

Kia ora Neighbourly! My name is Melissa and I'm a candidate for the West Ward in the upcoming local elections. My priorities for the city are better transport, better housing, and action on climate change.

I'm organising some Meet and Greets in the community to chat with voters, introduce myself, and hear your concerns.

I'm feeling unwell at the moment so I don't have anything lined up for this week, but I'd love to know which places/what times you'd like to meet with me next week.

I'll also be at all the Meet the Candidate events over the next few weeks.

Please let me know below or ask me any questions about my vision for Hamilton!

Keep an eye on your mailboxes for your voting papers and make sure to send your papers back by 8 October!

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.
