STAY

Dianne from Hamilton East

Stay
Stay at home.
Stay in touch.
Stay resolute.
Stay in contact with the people who make you laugh the most. Try to stay in touch with the people who you make laugh too.
Stay calm.
Stay away from the rolls of toilet paper (with the exception of the obvious – you know what I mean).
Stay kind.
Stay kind.
Stay kind.
Stay a safe distance from each other but
Stay human.
Stay gentle with people who are doing it tough and actually that includes everyone.
Stay in love.
Stay honest.
Stay focused. This will be hard.
Stay safe.
Stay brave.
Stay hopeful.
Stay with me.
Stay fixed on the knowledge that the sun will continue to rise in gold and set in ruby even amongst this madness and this too shall end.

We have a long way to go friends, but we will make it.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

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).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
