Ball runner wanted!
Hey parents, aunties and uncles and friends! Do you have a young family member or friend who would want to be a t-runner for the Highlanders vs French Barbarians rugby match being held in Invercargill? The Southland Times is giving away the chance for a youngster to run the ball onto the field at the start of the game at Rugby Southland on June 22.
Runners need to be aged between 7 and 11 years and have a guardian with them to sit side-line with the Highlanders team for the game.
Comment below if you know of a child who would like the chance to do this and we will pick a winner on June 18.
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?
