Local Hamilton Gully Restoration Advocate, George Lusty, Passes
EarthDiverse mourns the untimely and sudden passing of George Lusty, one of EarthDiverse's Environment Instructors in our Native Forest Restoration series of courses. His funeral was this afternoon. On the day he passed he was out leading a group of students on a practical gully restoration session. George passed doing what he loved most: sharing his knowledge, planting saplings and being with loved ones. Our heartfelt condolences go out to all of his family and whanua. George, you may be gone, but we will never forget you. With each Totara we plant we remember you and all you have given. Rest in Peace our friend and tireless worker for planet earth.
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.
