EREBUS Memorial / Dove Myer Robinson Park - NOT THE RIGHT SITE
There is a 'peaceful sit-in/protest' happening down in Dove Myer Robinson Park. Come down and see just how big and ugly the Erebus Monument would be if it goes ahead. We are camping there in protest - please come and join us. We have been sitting on the gentle slope below the 180-year-old Pohutukawa (which will be trimmed back if this goes ahead) watching the Americas Cup racing out on the Waitemata. If the monument goes ahead there, we will lose a beautiful sheltered spot with views to Rangitoto and the Waitemata harbour. This is not the right site for this monstrosity and we need support in numbers! Please go to www.sosnz.org.nz... / @ProtectMataharehare to sign the Petition - this whole process has been done behind closed doors! Families have come and told us of the many years of memories picnicing down there and all remember the magnificent Pohutukawa throughout the years. If left to grow, it could survive another 800 years or more!!! Don't let them trim it back to accommodate their 'work' -- and other trees will be removed all together! Come on down and learn all about what is planned for this site! Note the pole in the foreground of picture - the large concrete and metal monument will go to this height! Help us stop it!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.
