Tawa Probus meeting reminder

Richard Herbert from Tawa Probus Club

This Monday 20th June, we meet as normal at the Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, 9.30am.

Our speaker this month is Nick Leggett. Nick entered politics at age 19 as a Porirua City Councillor in 1998, and later was Mayor of Porirua before unsuccessfully contesting the Wellington Mayoralty in 2016.

Nick is presently Chief Executive of Ia Ara Aotearoa - Transporting New Zealand (previously known as the Road Transport Forum NZ). In that role Nick seeks to be the voice of the NZ transport industry. We have all heard how the COVID lockdowns have affected the transport industry and supply chains. Nick will be able to give an update on this situation and recovery prospects.

Visitors and prospective new members welcome.

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.
