Plugging in...to Christchurch East
The sound of the surf, the squeak of the swings, the protest of seagulls, the laughter of children– well you get the picture.
The Nissan Leaf has brought us noiselessly to coastal Christchurch East where we are taking soundings on party support and what is spinning people’s wheels.
We start in New Brighton where the surf is small and even, the breeze warm and where new boardwalks and hot water pools look inviting.
Allan Luchford is having a coffee in the mall, perhaps the saddest space in Christchurch.
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
