Portia Lilly Deluen, an identical twin, died during an outing with her friends the Beach on May 19, 2020.

At the time she had been looking forward to starting school again after the first Covid-19 lockdown. She was supposed to have returned to school the very next day.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
