Show Notes

The Prime Minister says he's open to following Australia's lead in looking into banning social media for children.

Law-makers across the Tasman will legislate a blanket a ban on social media for children under 16 – including the likes of TikTok, Facebook and X.

Christopher Luxon says there's merit to the plan, especially given the incidence of cyber-bullying he's heard about in New Zealand.

But Newstalk ZB senior political commentator Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan he has questions over how it’ll be implemented.
