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?

Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
