Shocked and suffocated - woman who cannot wear a mask told she was not welcome at Dunedin supermarket
A woman who has a medical exemption for wearing a mask during Covid-19 restrictions was horrified when a store manager said she should shop elsewhere.

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.
