Poll: A monorail from Richmond to Nelson?

Carly Gooch Reporter from The Nelson Mail

A Nelson man is drawing up plans to take to the New Zealand Transport Agency for a monorail from Richmond to Nelson's CBD instead of the Southern Link.
Would you use it? How much would you pay for a round trip on the Monorail? Does Nelson's infrastructure support this mode of transport?
We'd love to read your views, so let us know in the comments below.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
