Very exciting this week to see that the Australian PM is working on putting in age restrictions on social media. He has been asked about how this will done - and they are currently working on the how, but it is SO good to see that at least he is dedicated to protecting young people in his country.

So, how about our leaders? When they were asked what they thought about this, both Chris's here in NZ - Luxon and Hipkins - essentially said they hadn't really thought about it, but of course, think it's a good idea. 

This is so different to the responses I've had from the Minister of Internal Affairs (my most recent letter that they sent me is here). BUT - hopefully the two Chris's can actually stand by what they've said, and do something about this.

Enough is enough NZ! We have to keep pushing our leaders on this. Email them and let them know you want them to do the same in NZ: B.vanVelden@ministers.govt.nz This is the email address for the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Keep sharing the petition - change.org/delaysocialmedianz and emailing your councillors and leaders. 

They need to do better for our children.
