PLANTS WANTED
Hello neighbours. We are collecting PLANTS (garden and house plants) for our upcoming PLANT SALE on 13 Nov (10am-1pm) at Te Puna Quarry Park. Proceeds will go to a public barbecue in the Park. If you are tidying up your garden and chucking out some plants, please contact us. We will pick up and pot-up your plants. Garden tools and other garden stuff is welcome too. We like to collect plant material sooner than later. Please contact Shona at 027-497 3400. Thank-you from the team of volunteers at Te Puna Quarry Park.
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
