Family of three living in cabin lost entire family history in Auckland floods
A family of three living in a cabin two months since the Auckland Anniversary weekend flooding say they’ve lost their “entire” family history.
Catherine Beggs and her family were forced to swim to safety in waist-deep water on the night of January 27.
They returned home the following day to find they had lost all their household belongings in the deluge - including their recently-renovated home in Mt Roskill.
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.
