THE NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR THE DEAF

Hearing loss is an invisible disability affecting 880,350 New Zealanders, or one in six of us. It’s predicted that by 2050, it will affect one in four.

Silent Leadership Challenge 2018 takes place on Friday 21 September. On that day, corporate and community leaders and teams will be tackling various challenges while wearing hearing protectors to simulate deafness.

Funds raised will help support the work of The national Foundation for the Deaf and Hearing New Zealand

Thank you to MSA The Safety Company for donating the hearing protectors.

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?
