Cell phones in schools

Don from Parklands - Marshlands

They could use the $5 million of wasted tax payers money Damien O'Conner spent with cell phone jammers to stop prisoners accessing their phones while in prison.
All totally removed now. Better still, place the scanners in Parliament and have them operating when parliament is in session. Politicians behaviour is often far worse than that from students in school or in the play yard. Maybe if the SPEAKER was to have scrolled the names of the worst offenders each day on Channel 31 before the 'silly season starts at 2 pm might help the suffering public get more value for the money they cost from the drama queens and kings. ps I think the current speaker is 1000% better than his predecessor.

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?
