Any old gumboots lying around?
The Ministry for Primary Industries is raising awareness around kauri dieback disease. They need your old gumboots to fill and paint them, then place them around kauri trees, to keep people on the tracks and off the tree roots!
Whangarei Central Library is a gumboot collection point so bring your old gum boots next time you’re in.
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)
.
