Poll: 1080 poison - what do you think?
1080 poison was in the news this week with a two-day trial at Thames District Court for 1080 protester Graeme Sturgeon, who was charged with assaulting a security guard as DOC staff were loading 1080 poison on to trucks for transport to a drop zone in the Coromandel Ranges on October 17. Judge Greg Hollister-Jones threw out the charge on February 20, saying Sturgeon acted in self defence. What's your stance on 1080 - harmful to the environment or a necessary evil to control possums?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

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?
