Neanderthal with a gun needs to be reported
So walking on the farm we walk into a deer carcass with it's head chopped off !! Who do we report flagrant water pollution to? This is the Tuki Tuki River - a brainless idiot has shot and killed the animal and and left the carcass to rot in the river! Do we contact police? HB Regional Council? Who do we report this horrific sight to? Worse - we had a couple of German tourists with us (in our bubble on the farm) who were mortified thinking it was normal farming behaviour. Take it from me - the farmers around here are ropable about this! I have not been allowed to post the photos because they are simply horrific...you can only imagine what it was like to see 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?
