Amen to that.... now if they can come up with some sort of rehab for adult addicts

Stupid old people never learn.

Have they forgotten about kids (illegally) smoking behind the bike sheds when they were young?

Make something illegal and it develops a desirous appeal to kids.

Leave parenting up to parents. Or are the parents the problem?

Silly me thinking the government might be better focused on fixing the housing crisis, or providing relief to the high cost of living, or maybe the environment, etc.

Typical of a leftist government. 

 

They think they have a right to parent other people's children. 

 

Or perhaps they are feeling threatened by the free speech on X since Musk bought it and prefer Ardern's approach - "Unless you hear it from us it is not true, the government shall be your single source of truth". 

 

I wonder how long before they want to ban social media for adults as well. For our own good, of course. Perhaps they could make reading The Guardian mandatory as well?

Taken a long time for that government to wake up.  As far as I am concerned, the net does more harm than good,

so it wouldn't bother me if they shut the whole thing down.
