Making SH2 through Hawke’s Bay safer
Too many people are dying and being seriously injured in crashes on SH2 through the Hawke’s Bay so this summer the NZ Transport Agency will start work between Wairoa and Bay View and Pakipaki and Waipukurau to make it safer for everyone. These safety improvements are part of the government’s $600m Safe Roads and Roadsides Programme that aims to reduce deaths and serious injuries on NZ rural roads.

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)
