The Design of Naenae
We have a fantastic talk coming up this Friday night in Naenae!
Ben Schrader will look at design of the state houses and some of the other buildings in Naenae. Why were these places important in the 1940s and 50s and do they remain so now?
Ben Schrader is a Wellington historian who researched the history of Naenae for his MA thesis in history in the early 1990s and remains a strong supporter of the place.
Naenae Library - Friday 12 October, 6pm
Naenae Library also has a special display up ‘Snap Shot of Naenae's Past’. Why not have a wander around the display, hear from Ben at 6pm then grab some kai and stock up on veges after the talk at the Naenae Market!
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)
.
