Top of the South Film Festival Next Weekend
We’re just one week out from the Top of the South Film Festival, next Friday and Saturday, at the Suter Theatre. It's the 4th annual celebration of the best locally produced short films from Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough. From documentaries to short narratives, there are fascinating stories being told by local filmmakers. Just a few tickets are left for the Gold Reel screening on Saturday at 7 PM. Order them now if you want to be part of the Award Presentation that evening, with Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese handing out the trophies. Or why not enjoy all 19 of the submitted films and take in the Silver Reel screening from 5-6 PM on Saturday, then enjoy the Red Carpet before the 7 PM Gold Reel screening? And don’t forget the Friday screenings of Dragoon Anthology and Gold Reel again.

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.
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?
