What could be lurking in your pipes...
This Christmas when you cook a succulent ham, crank up the BBQ, and tuck into some trifle, remember to pour leftover fats, oils and food scraps into the bin, not down the drain.
#Fatbergs (clumps of congealed fat) clog and damage your pipes, and could cost you thousands of dollars to repair if the damage happens within your property boundary.
You don't want to start the new year with a big plumbers bill!
Watch what you're putting down the drain this festive season and keep fatbergs away!
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)
