Free seminar on macular degeneration

Anna from Macular Degeneration NZ

Hi everyone, please don't take your vision for granted. Macular Degeneration is an age-related eye disease, affecting 1 in 7 people above the age of 50, and it is the leading cause of blindness in New Zealand!

There is a free talk on Sunday, 13 February from 2 - 4 pm at Suncourt Hotel & Conference Centre (14 Northcroft Street, Taupo) by ophthalmologist Dr. B. Mulenga. She will share the latest information on treatments and the management of macular degeneration. Bring your friends and family to this free educational seminar.

To register, visit www.mdnz.org.nz... call 0800 MACULA (622 852) or email info@mdnz.org.nz

Please note that under the Under the current COVID-19 Protection Framework, all attendees will need to have a My Vaccine Pass which will be verified before allowing to enter the venues. Face coverings may be required and we always encourage the wearing of them.

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?
