Poll: Should public holidays be scrapped in NZ?
After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.
He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.
We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?
-
4% Yes, let's scrap them
-
90.8% No, leave them as is
-
5.2% Let's just keep Anzac and Waitangi 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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
-
77.1% Yes
-
21.3% No

1.5% Other - I'll share below
