Poll: What is New Zealand's most iconic identifier?
New Zealanders' identities are no longer just invested in items like jandals, the Buzzy Bee, or hokey pokey ice-cream.
Instead, according to an Auckland University of Technology study, Kiwis' modern identity is changing – and it's Māori culture, wine, oysters, flat whites, and the silver fern that's on the way in.

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?
