The 125-year celebration will start with a parade in Pukekohe, followed by a ticketed high tea event and a free art expo at Franklin: The Centre.

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

0.9% Other - I'll share below
