Water crisis - perhaps the aged Bell Road reservoir is leaking like a sieve?
Brooklyn residents are being asked to conserve water as significant draw-down hits reticulated supplies. The demand is thought to be from leaks, and summer water use. Extra workers are being sent to find and repair leaks, but residents are also asked to fix any leaks on their property and report any others they see. Wellington Water says it's likely cutbacks will be needed for the next nine days, [10 days from Feb 8] until reservoirs can refill.

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)
