Four Cs that are building better organisations and communities - Create, Connect, Communicate, Collaborate', says Fraser Carson who will be speaking to us tonight.

'However, we need to challenge the status quo of the internet with a completely fresh approach to the way websites work, to deliver even more. We need a mission to help people to more easily and productively connect, build relationships, share knowledge, find resources, develop assets, advance ideas, fund raise and promote themselves and others. In short, to benefit individuals, clusters and active communities of common interest'.

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)
