Police have advised that there is protest action this morning at Mt Victoria Tunnel and motorists are asked to avoid the area if possible.

The protest action is on the Hataitai side (Ruahine Street) of the Mount Victoria Tunnel and began this morning around 8am. Protesters have been seen dangling above the tunnel entrance.

Police have shared that the safety of the public is their top priority and these tunnel lanes will be monitored. Where possible, use alternative route for travel at this time.

***UPDATE: 9.45am: Mt Victoria Tunnel lanes, east and west-bound, are currently CLOSED. Motorists are asked to avoid SH1 from the airport and eastern suburbs into the city via the Mt Victoria Tunnel and instead use Evans Bay or Newtown when travelling city-bound. ***

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)
.
