labour said we will help the poor Yeah right

Dave from Papamoa Beach

Its started already with the price of fuel. Note theat when labour took office a litre cost 1.73 and now it is 1.99. Soon another 12 cents goes on here and in auckland 23cents. If you rent a house in Tauranga area your rent is going to sky rocket as the council is increasing rates by 40%plus gst and the government has increased all insurance levies for fire and earth quake. By my calculations a 500.00 a week rent will be 554.00 a week and this has happened in four months since labour took office and watch this space as there is more to come. The rich are going to continue to get rich and we are all paying for it.

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)
.
