Will the Government's regional banking hub in Stoke be a success?
On Monday the Government announced Stoke would be one of the four locations in New Zealand to trial a regional "banking hub". The hub is set to open in 2020 and will feature a Smart ATM for deposits, withdrawals and transfers, as well as support staff. How effective do you think the hub will be to provide service to customers in Stoke and similar areas?

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.
