Labour offered to help pass an under-16s social media ban. The government turned it down.

Labour's Chris Hipkins said his party would vote for an under-16s social media ban so it could clear its first hurdle in Parliament before it shuts down for the election. The government said no. Louise Upston said there are only three weeks left and too much else to get through. ACT and NZ First also opposed it. The problem is will, not votes.
