Poll: Should people donate to Givealittle pages for The Block contestants?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

On Sunday The Block houses went to auction and a controversial decision, which saw Andy and Nate's house, which was initially passed in, was sold for the highest profit at a shock second auction that no one expected. They effectively snatched the win from Stace and Yanita.

Since then, The Block losers, Ling and Zing, have had a Givealittle page set up for them - as well as Stace and Yanita.

What are your thoughts about this season's win?
Do you think the Givealittle pages should have been set up for these two teams?

Stace and Yanita's page has raised approximately $2,400, while Ling and Zing's page has raised over $18,300.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
