Poll: Do your kids play Fortnite? Do you have any concerns about it?
Hi neighbours,
The latest online craze, Fortnite, has a hold on young Kiwis and concerns are mounting about school children staying up too late to play the game. More than 125 million players worldwide play the game and the multi-player Battle Royale, where 100 people battle it out in a third-person shoot 'em up until the last person standing wins, is hugely popular. More details here: www.stuff.co.nz....
Tell us how you're coping with the new online craze in the comments section - are you having problems? Have you noticed a change in your child's behaviour? Are they losing sleep? How are you managing it?

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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

77.3% Yes

21.8% No
