The Race to Vax 90

When we started the challenge we were both on 71%. Now Porirua is sitting at 74.43% and Hutt City is at 75.79%.
Come on Porirua, we've got this! It's not about city pride, it's about keeping all our precious people safe from Covid-19, but beating the Hutt would be pretty sweet, just saying...

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)
