Let me introduce myself :)

Reporter Rotorua News

Kia ora

I'm your new Rotorua Review editor, and I can't wait to start engaging with the communities that make up this wonderful part of the North Island.

This week, I take over the reins from my Waikato communities colleague Nicola Brennan-Tupara, and I'm delighted to be working alongside senior reporter Benn Bathgate.

Together, we aim to bring you a great community read every week, keeping our communities up to date with events, local faces and people stories and everything you've come to expect from the fabulous Rotorua Review - in print and online.

I'd love to hear from readers on what they'd like to see more of, and less of, in their weekly paper.

Please drop me a line at julie.kaio@fairfaxmedia.co.nz or give me a call on 027 204 2958.

Have a great rest-of-the week;

Julie Kaio

News Director

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)
.
