Poll: Should Hollywood stars get special treatment?
Hollywood heavyweights Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons applied for an exemption to avoid having to quarantine in an Auckland hotel
Their application came at a time when virtually all foreigners were banned due to Covid-19 border restrictions. The pair applied to spend their time in a secluded Waikato property.
Although the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) refused to confirm whether an exemption was granted, the pair have told Vanity Fair they are staying in a hotel.
Their application for an exemption cited concerns over privacy and a concern they would be followed by photographers.

4.8% They deserved to get an exemption.

95.2% They were rightly denied an exemption.
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?

76.3% Yes

22.3% No
