We want to protect our kids from the harms of social media.
I joined with the B416 campaign this afternoon who share my concern. This great group of Kiwis have kicked off a fantastic campaign to protect our kids.

National MP Catherine Wedd’s members’ bill will remain in the ballot as the Minister’s work progresses.
