A Toastmaster championing our rights during the lockdown!

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

What a surprise to see the familiar face of David, one of our members, in the Dominion Post yesterday!

As well as a keen Toastmaster, David is a dedicated Citizens' Advice Bureau volunteer. This article profiles David and the invaluable help he's providing to our community - especially during the lockdown.

Kudos to you, David - we really appreciate your contributions to Toastmasters and the wider community :) (Love the portrait, too!)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
