Dunedin's Hillside may be back on track
Dunedin's former Hillside Engineering workshop may be back on track.
The 7-hectare complex was built in the heart of South Dunedin in 1875, and employed about 1200 people at its peak. Most of its work was for KiwiRail before it closed in 2012 with the loss of 90 jobs.
It was not mentioned in the Government's official statement on rail investment as part of the recent Wellbeing Budget, but was raised by associate Transport Minister Shane Jones, who told media the closure was a "mark of shame" under the previous Government.
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
