Poll: Rural meets urban
Ata mārie kiritata,
The city's urban dwellers are about to meet Manawatū's rural dags for the annual Rural Games in Palmerston North's square.
More than 25,000 people are expected to come to town over two days, with national and international audiences through media, social media and television coverage.
Five per cent of the $1 million event is supported the city council, but the games trust's chairman Margaret Kouvelis wants a greater contribution to the games.
Should council contribute more?
-
23.5% Yes, five per cent is not enough.
-
76.5% No, they're getting the money from somewhere already.
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
