Poll: Have rising petrol costs affected how you drive?

Jared Nicoll Reporter from Kapi-Mana News

With the record price of 91 nudging around $2.50 per liter, the cost of fueling our cars is terribly high.
We're interested in looking at whether or not people are letting the price increase affect the way they use their car. We're hoping to hear if anyone has changed their habits and what they did to ease off the gas. Maybe people are cycling to work or maybe they're walking kids to school.
Please let us know. Share your experience.
And just remember to add an NFP to your comment if you'd rather it wasn't used in a news article.

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
