Poll: Is a Santa parade a must for you?
South Waikato councillors have deemed Santa a “must have”, and a core part of fostering community spirit in the district, with the man in red set to return despite the lean times.
In December 2023, the South Waikato District Council had to cancel the town’s annual Christmas parade after a local Lions club, that traditionally organised and ran the parade, had to pull out due to a lack of manpower and escalating costs for traffic management.

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)
