Police investigating Hastings aggravated robbery
Police are investigating the aggravated robbery of the Angus Inn Bottle Store in Railway Road, Hastings that happened on Sunday night.
Fortunately nobody was physically injured in the robbery but those involved are understandably shaken.

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)
