HEARING NEW ZEALAND - NOISE DESTROYS
Hearing New Zealand has 23 Member Associations throughout New Zealand, seeking to support their members and the around 850,000 Kiwi’s who suffer from some degree of hearing loss or hearing disability. That’s around one in five of our citizens. While some hearing loss occurs naturally, either by age or other factors, exposure to excessive noise at periods in one’s life is the biggest potentially preventable factor.
HEARING SUPPORT OTAGO, at 2 Playfair Street, Caversham, Dunedin, is one of the 23 Member Associations. Open 10 - 3pm each weekday to help those who have a hearing loss.
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?
