Bob Marley the key to finding dad

On the last day of 2020 Analise Forster sent a message to a stranger.
She asked if he’d once owned a Bob Marley jersey and had mates called Tui and Sam. She asked if he’d lived in Porirua more than 20 years ago.
On the last day of 2020 Analise Forster sent a message to a stranger.
She asked if he’d once owned a Bob Marley jersey and had mates called Tui and Sam. She asked if he’d lived in Porirua more than 20 years ago.
She told him she’d been looking for her father for years, finding only dead ends and doubts, and the pair swapped messages for more than an hour before Analise accepted an incoming video call.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
