Poll: Childcare
Hey Neighbours,
Will you be picking up the kids later today, or will they be home all day?
Michelle Duff explains in an opinion piece written for Stuff, how some parents can't afford the option of putting their kids into childcare.
Duff said this affects poor mothers the most.
A survey ran by Stats NZ showed that almost a third of mothers said they turned down work, or had to stop looking for it because of childcare difficulties.

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

22% No
