Kolkata Walk Of Freedom
I have visited and helped where I can in South East Asia three times over the last 4-5 years working with Freeset ( A company that was started by an Ashburton couple 15 years ago ) and have seen the incredible work they are doing
Freeset are helping free woman who are in the Trade and have been abused. Freeset can offer these women a choice of a better life including a job, education , health care and a sense of self worth.
My objective before I return in January 2019 is to raise funds, so more woman get the choice of a better life. For every $1000 raised will buy a sewing machine and someones freedom
My intention is to walk 2700k's by the end of November 2018 and hoping people will sponsor in pledges only if I complete that goal.

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?
