🛑STOP Swapping / Lending / Gifting

Danni from Westmere

Hi neighbours

I’m concerned about the continued swapping / gifting / lending of items that’s happening at the moment during the lock down.

We cannot do this during lock down. We cannot have any contact with people and their items that are outside of our bubble during this period.

The virus sits on surfaces, and if it’s on an item that we have gifted someone then that family / person may become infected. It’s too big of a risk. How would we feel if we infected a family and one of them died?

We all need to be mindful about this because if NZ doesn’t get in front of this during the lock down, we will be closed for longer and more jobs will be lost, and potentially will lose lives. The impacts will be even greater than they are now.

Please stay safe everyone and please keep everyone else safe.

Thanks
Danni

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?
