Well-known journalist Kevin Norquay will lead the discussion on the role of sports in New Zealand culture.

physical pressure on those athletes, and how the news media has followed
the money, leaving community sports behind...

Where: Cafe Yaza, Montgomery Square.
Yaza opens for dining/drinks at 6.00pm

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?
