Running buddy group set up following spate of attacks on women

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

A group has been set up to help people find running buddies following four random attacks on women in Auckland while they were exercising.
Facebook group 'Running Mate' was set up on Tuesday afternoon with the intention of getting people to exercise together, as a safety-in-numbers initiative.
It comes as police warned four attacks on women who were running or walking alone in the North Shore and West Auckland area may have been linked.
By Friday, it had 341 members, with posts from people all over Auckland keen to find people to go running with.

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?
