We want to talk to you!
We're seeking both a family with teenage children, and a retired couple to be featured in the paper..we're running pieces featuring Kiwi families acting as our 'Budget testers'. We'll ask our volunteers a series of questions about their current situation: what they hope to get from Budget 2019, whether they would have supported a Capital Gains Tax, how fair they think NZ society is, etc, and then run the responses in the paper. Then, on Budget day, we will come back to them for their reaction to the details. They'd need to be happy to be photographed.If this is you or someone you know please get in touch either through Neighbourly or at virginia.fallon@stuff.co.nz
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?
