Seasons Greetings Neighbours
I hope everyone has had, or is going to have, a wonderful holiday, whatever your faith, observance, or personal beliefs.
But, moreover, I hope everyone ends their holidays safely and with appreciation for the people around them, near and far, and those they never meet, but depend upon every day.
To the unsung hero’s of today, the people who keep the lights on, the toilets flushing, the traffic moving, and our every days flowing, one after the other, in the many myriad, unseen ways, thank you. You are truly appreciated.

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)
