Poll: Are petrol companies ripping us off?
Energy Minister Judith Collins has announced an inquiry into petrol prices and why some areas pay so much more at the pump.
It follows figures published by MBIE suggesting fuel margins have more than doubled in five years and companies will have to front up and explain why some areas pay so much more than others and front up if it's found they are ripping some regions off.
Rodney and Hibiscus Coast coast petrol prices are often 10 to 20 cents more than other areas. Do you think we are being ripped off?

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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
