Poll: Do you think Hamilton's airport should have extended its runway?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The company behind Hamilton-Kirikiriroa Airport has ditched plans to make the runway longer.

The airport boss says expert reports showed “no compelling argument” and international flights can be accommodated if the airlines want. But a Hamilton city councillor and airline figure said the decision makes the airport “an aviation backwater".

Do you think the airport should have a runway extension?

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Poll: How are your manu skills?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.

Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
