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.

Dinner plates knife fork and spoon set it seems like they put everything on special and made the lay out off the store so I had to walk past everything before I got to the product I went into buy.
