Only five fines given to window washers in West and North Auckland
Hi neighbours, we asked you for your experience with window washers at intersections since the new law came in last year allowing police to fine them $150. One of our reporters has now done a story on the matter, and found that Waitematā police (West and North Auckland) have only given out five such tickets, despite 274 being given out in South Auckland. Should police focus more on this issue out west or should we leave window washers alone?

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
