After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?

Each floor must have toilets and showers offices turned into bedroom areas tea rooms. Of course it takes a lot of organising. Fire and health issues.
Some may have drug/alcohol/mental problems so that could cause a problem but they could be in another building getting shelter and help.
Some would rather stay outdoors it's there way of life.
Easier said than done.
My husband saw 2 souls sheltering under a bridge. I know children and parents are in cars sleeping.
Just an idea?
Who owns the old countdown in Kensington ?
