Poll: Should Nelson City Council help save Natureland?

Skara Bohny Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Should the council put up the funds, or not? Do you have any other ideas for how to save the zoo, or has it's time come? Let us know in the poll or comments below.
Natureland is in trouble, after receiving less council funding than they requested last year.
Possibly the only way to save the business, according to a letter sent to the council by the Natureland Wildlife Trust board chair, is to receive the remaining funding they initially requested, otherwise the zoo will close and the animals will go, either to other zoos or, worst case scenario, by being euthanised.
What do you think should be done?

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)
.
