Mayoral candidate questions chlorinated water decision of NCC
Napier mayoral candidate Kirsten Wise says she plans to question why the city's water supply needs to be chlorinated. One of the main issues for her is that Christchurch City Council is on target to be 98% chlorine free by June. "That raises the question for me, if they can achieve that, and their aquifer is nowhere near as good as ours, then why can't we achieve that?"
She'll need community support so please sign the PETITION FOR CHLORINE FREE WATER available at Crazy Good Cafe in Bridge St Ahuriri, or email p.doyle@hotmail.com www.nzherald.co.nz...
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)
