A random act of kindness

Caroline from Central Whangarei

I want to thank a woman today at the Growers Market. I was trying to buy some strawberries, but must have taken the $20 out of my wallet already, so I only had $5 - not enough. The man was happy to use the eftpos for the needed $10 but he couldn't get it to work, so the woman beside me reached across and said "Here. Have this $10"!!!! Wow I was blown away. How wonderful in this time of bad things happening, that someone completely unknown to me, pays for my strawberries. I hastily gave her the lonely $5. If you are this woman - "Thank you for making my day so much better."

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
