New sea-themed murals on the entrances to the Rongotai subway
The new sea-themed murals on the entrances to the subway below the airport runway were blessed and celebrated this week. Senior art students from Rongotai College worked with Sheyne Tuffery Artist and Paul Tobin from Weta Workshop on the murals. The subway upgrade has included the installation of new security cameras and brighter, more energy efficient lighting. An electronic counter has also recently been installed, which will provide ongoing information on the numbers of people on foot and on bikes using this route. More info on our website.
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)
