Don't nark on your neighbours, community board member says
An Otago community board member is urging her community not to nark on their neighbours during these ''very strange times''.
Geraldine Tait wrote a column for the local newsletter, POWA (Progress of Waikouaiti Area), which has upset some residents.
However she defended her 'Don't nark on your neighbours' column, written late last month as tensions in the Otago community increased during Alert Level 4 lockdown requirements.
