Poll: Would you make a citizen's arrest?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A dairy owner whose brother was murdered while trying to stop a robbery is urging retailers to prioritise their safety if they attempt a citizen’s arrest.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith last week announced a proposed expansion of powers aimed at retail crime that would make the arrests possible at any time of day and for any crime.

What does ANZAC day mean to you?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ANZAC Day is a time to reflect, remember, and honour those who served.

It’s also a powerful reminder of the impact of war and the courage of those who stood for something greater than themselves.

We're interested to hear what ANZAC Day means to you and your whānau, and about any special traditions you follow each year.

Perhaps you have a loved one who served? If you feel comfortable, we’d love for you to share their story here with us.

Poll: Are domestic flights with Air NZ out of your budget?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.

Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?
