Donations Appreciated-Friends House Fire
Last Thursday my good friends along with their beautiful 7year old son lost everything when there house burnt down. They are amazing parents who worked hard, get involved in their community and are great parents to their beautiful son. Not long ago they lost their Dad who passed away and have still been dealing with the grief from this.
As a friend and wanting to try and help out, and so near to christmas I am wanting to put it out there to see if anyone would be willing to come forward and donate some christmas presents for their son along with any items that would be appreciated to help out. Donations can be dropped off to me on Enderley ave, please private message me. Your love and generosity will be greatly appreciated by this family.
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.

One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
