For once, a "good news" story for Whangarei
Have a look at today's article in the Daily Encourager about Whangarei youth initiating a unique partnership to improve their well-being:

So it's not all doom and gloom in the north. There are great things going on up here, so let's talk about them and share them. There's way too much mindless drivel in the media that's dragging us down - let's focus on the good news instead.
If you know a local young person that is struggling to find his or her place in the world, please point them to the Whangarei Youth Space. This is their website: whangareiyouthspace.co.nz...
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)
.
