Our Negative Press
Has anyone noticed how depressing the 'news' are nowadays? We seem to be getting very little positive information, little, if any, good news. Even the weather is bad.
I looked at the first page on both the New Zealand Herald and Stuff a couple of moments ago and it was miserable:
NZH - 4 x crime, 3 x economic downturn, 1 x possible slave labour, 2 x gossip and 1 x agriculture.
Stuff - 1 x crime, 1 x debatable sacking, 1 x covid death, 1 x racism and 1 x sport.
New Zealand seems to be on the downhill spiral with nothing to look forward to. For goodness sake, let's have some happiness.
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
