Time Bank Waimakariri
Thanks to those who came to the meeting this evening to discuss the possibility of re-starting Timebank Waimakariri. We had a wide ranging discussion about the practicalities of setting the timebank up and whether there was a will to explore this further.
We concluded that there was sufficient interest to continue and to hold a further meeting to give those who couldn't come tonight a chance to hear further about the idea. One key conclusion from tonight's meeting was that we needed a strong, committed, interested group to support the idea.
We will try to organise a follow-up meeting in towards the end of November at a time and place which will make it possible for more people to attend.

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)
.
