DEBUT WRITER - FIRST CHILDREN'S BOOK "ROLY-POLY RILEY & FRIENDS"
I've recently completed my first Children's book (for 8/9 years up) . . . . "Come along with Roly-Poly Riley and Friends on an adventure - He's a lovable cat (he just looks grumpy) who likes to get out and about and explore the world around him. In this episode, Story One, he along with his terrier friend Captain Jack and Mrs Roberts find something of real value and interest to the Nation (NZ). See how things pan out for the trio and an extra surprise they all receive at the end of their venture." . . . . if you are interested please email gretacolenz@gmail.com
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
