The allergy capital of New Zealand.
Two years ago I ended up on an inhaler due to breathing problems in spring and summer - close to 9 months of the year actually. Back then I was told that "you don't need to have asthma to need an inhaler in the Waikato because "Hamilton is the allergy capital of New Zealand". Last year I needed the inhaler on and off for a few months - this year I haven't needed it yet though I was stuffed up for two weeks and now, though I'm breathing easily, am occasionally getting sinus headaches. So the question whether it is that much better elsewhere in the country or if there is a way to better manage symptoms in Hamilton?
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?
