Poll: What do you want to see at Hamilton gardens?
The Rhododendron Lawn is proving a talking point when it comes to plans for Hamilton Gardens.
Hamilton City Council would have the lawn turned into a car park, and more themed gardens built on the site of the current main car park. Events would be moved to another lawn - Governor's Green - or an amphitheatre.
People are for and against this transformation. Where do you stand?
-
12.1% Turn it into a car park - overall the new plan will be better for the gardens.
-
80.4% Save the Rhododendron Lawn - there must be another way.
-
6.5% I don't mind either way.
-
1% Other - explain in the comments.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Now, if human remains found near a Tokoroa creek turn out to be his, it’ll resolve at least one of her many questions.
