Climate Emergency
Following the School Strike 4 Climate, rangatahi have approached the Wellington City Council with a petition and succeeded in getting them to declare a climate emergency.

This is happening in Hamilton, Gisborne, Nelson, and across the country. You can join the Hastings petition here; on the ActionStation community petition platform. our.actionstation.org.nz...
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)
