Poll: Is this bureaucracy gone mad? Should BYO alcohol be allowed at rural community halls and fundraisers?
Fundraising dance night to raise money for roof and wall repairs by the Makarau Hall Society was blocked by police, who said the group needed a special licence for the event, or it would be in breach of the Sale and Supply of Liquor Act.
The Society say they have had no issues in the past and are aghast at having to turn their hall into a makeshift pub.
They say the law could cause huge frustration for future events and other rural communities in New Zealand.

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.

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