Vote safe quiz
We all want compassion, dignity and choice
But is a potentially unsafe law good enough?
From 3-17 October, we are all asked to vote in a binding referendum for or against the End of Life Choice Act. We’re being asked to vote on a specific law (not whether or not we agree with the ‘concept’ of assisted dying). This means that every New Zealander is expected to ‘think like a lawyer’ to understand the implications of this specific law when they vote.
Votesafe.nz will help you know what the Act says – and importantly, what it doesn’t say, before you vote. Take the quick quiz to see how much you know about what you're being asked to vote on. Click on this link : www.votesafe.nz...

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: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
