Poll: How do you feel about washing your hands at a public toilet without soap?

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Public loos in Palmerston North are going soap-free as the council is sick of the vandalism to soap dispensers. The DHB is on board, saying washing hands with water and drying them properly is enough, but for some people it just seems so wrong.

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)
.
