Local body elections
Hey everyone, traditionally local body elections see a rather poor voter turnout but can I issue a heartfelt personal plea for everyone to get involved?
Apart from any other issues, climate disruption is increasingly impacting our communities, with repair/maintenance/insurance costs increasing as adverse and erratic weather events multiply. And science tells us that this is just the beginning.
We need councillors who are there to represent the interests of our entire community - including our young folk and unborn generations. Let's leave our kids with a low-carbon economy and a liveable climate.
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?
