Entry to Show this year is Cheaper! Yay!
Ticket prices to the annual Royal A & P Show, which started today, have been slashed this year, thanks to a new partnership between the Hawke's Bay A & P Society and Hastings District Council.
Running from October 17 to 19, family day passes for two adults and four children have dropped from $45 to $30, adult passes have decreased from $16 to $12 and children aged between 5 and 13 years will get in for $8.
Ticket prices for senior citizens and students with ID are $10.
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)

Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
