Poll: Too many tourists?
Hi neighbours, in a recent Stuff opinion article Lorna Thornber reveals we have been dropped from Lonely Planet's top countries list.
However, with a record-breaking 3.7 million international visitors visiting our shores in the 12 months ending October 2017, one in five Kiwis feels the country already attracts too many tourists.
Thornber argues we don't need the likes of Lonely Planet directing more people to our shores. Or want it.
What do you think? Does New Zealand attract so many tourists that it spoils it for the rest of us?
-
38.9% Yep, there are way too many tourists.
-
27.8% It's nice the way it is, no more, no less.
-
33.3% No, we need more tourists they're great for the economy.
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?
-
76.9% Yes
-
22.2% No

0.9% Other - I'll share below
