The Hamilton Soapbox: Hamilton's mayoral candidates step up
It's an idea which mixes the old with the new. We call it: The Hamilton Soapbox.
Starting this Friday, the Waikato Times will invite two candidates standing in this year's Hamilton mayoral race to step onto our soapbox and talk to the people.
No teleprompter. No filters. No props.
Each candidate will be given two minutes to share their vision for the city, and passersby will be encouraged to ask the candidates questions.
What would you like to ask the candidates?

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.
