Meeting the neighbours down the lane
Across the country, vibrant communities are forming around new Housing New Zealand developments. Recently, tenants of a brand new development in Auckland’s Silverdale decided to organise a family BBQ day to get to know each other and their new neighbours down the lane.
“The best thing about this event is everyone coming together, and the kids having a great time. This is a great place to raise my kids.”
Check out the video to see how these state housing tenants are working to build great neighbourhoods.
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)
