Planning on having some drinks after work on Friday?
Hi Aucklanders,
'Tis the season for beers or bubbles in the sun after work, and we have some good news for you if you're planning to be out and about this Friday!

Does free public transport encourage you to leave your car at home? Should Auckland Transport look to do this more often?

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)
.
