Quite a morning we had!
"QUITE A MORNING WE HAD. We cleared up the clothes that were just dumped in the car park at Sheppards Park. We found it difficult to ignore, and we blame the influence of our kaumatua Whaea Jo who cannot tolerate a mess being left behind in our public places 😏 We also helped 2 cars that broke down on Rangatira Road only 1 meter away from each other. One of the drivers needed petrol ⛽ and couldn't walk due to ankle injury, so we drove her to the Caltex ourselves. A really nice lady who shares our passion for the volunteering lifestyle. We hope she finds her perfect new home here and we will see her again. "BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. NOT NEGOTIABLE. HOW WE DEAL WITH IT....IS" - Keanu Reeves.
We hope to bump into all of you again soon. Kia pai tōu rā ❤️ (Have a great day)"

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
