Eye check - nice surprise, half price for seniors

Bruce from Takaro

- After past messages exposing exorbitant prices of spectacles, I was pleased this morning to be charged half price (standard policy apparently) for the eye check. In the past it's been $60.
- So I am dutifully broadcasting it here. But always check the cost of the glasses. You can get them very cheaply on line after getting your eye check done in town. See
www.ezyglasses.co.nz... and compare with www.optically.co.nz... (I found that Clearly.co.nz seemed cheap until you added on the frills, costing hundreds more.)

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.
