New fines for fare evaders now in force

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Aucklanders who sneak onto public transport without paying now face a hefty fine if caught, as new rules come into force this week. Instant fines of $150 will be issued to passengers who don't carry tickets. If they contest it in the courts, that could rise to $500.

Changes to the Land Transport Act provides powers to transport officers on Auckland's public transport network, and regulations, which came into force yesterday, enable the issue of infringement notices.

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)
.
