Love your backyard this Conservation Week
We Kiwis love our backyard. Whether it's our own gardens, parks or our big Kiwi backyard. Because we love it, we want to take care of it. Conservation Week is a great time to show our backyard some love.
There's plenty of ways for you and your family to take part, and we’ll be adding more local events soon. For information on backyard activities and events near you, visit: www.conservationweek.org.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)
