Heaphy Track - transport to Brown Hut
We need help to get to Brown Hut on Friday 5 March. Our transport was cancelled due to Covid and we are stuck to get out to the beginning of the track due to a few complications. We are 4 adults willing to pay to get to the track. We are driving to Karamea tomorrow to leave a car there at our accommodation for after the tramp. But our second vehicle won't handle the road to Brown Hut plus our packs, as its too low to the ground. We have tried a few businesses but they seem to be hit by the wave of people like us left stranded to get to the track. Are you able to help us? I have one more business to try this morning and after that we may need your assistance. Please message me if you can assist thanks :)
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?

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?
