Positive Leadership & Better Whangarei
Ratepayers disagree on many things but most agree Whangarei needs positive leadership.
Many millions of dollars of investment capital have been lost to other districts because the District Council is difficult to deal with. That means lost jobs and lost income for local families.
That's why we are supporting candidates who commit to changing the Council's culture to one that asks, "How can we make it happen?" instead of standing in the way.
To see which candidates have committed to positive change visit Better! Whangarei

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)
.
