My Dog Barney
Hi I am adopting a lovely rescue dog called Barney. He is a mid-sized to big dog. He is part Whippet and maybe some kind of cattle dog. He loves people, animals and children (but forgets his size so I don't recommend he be around really young children, as he could bump one over.). I am looking for somebody who would like to have him around one day a week, when I have a long day at work. After his morning run he mainly snoozes but likes the odd cuddle. He is lovely company but does not like being left alone. He is a really smart dog and a quick learner but is still being trained. He is really nice company.
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)
.
