Renters: Have you ever been asked for your bank statements?
Property managers in Auckland have been asking for bank statements from people trying to get into rental homes.
NZ First MP Darroch Ball says:
“The vulnerable, poor, young and desperate are being forced into forgoing their privacy in order to have the chance to secure a property."
*** Has this happened to you in Taupō? What have you been asked for, if anything? How do you feel about it?

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?
