Good People

For Thursday, the 16th March at 6pm we are screening the French film, Farewell Mr Haffmann starring Daniel Auteuil.

Our 8pm screening will be the British comedy, The Phantom of the Open.

Farewell Mr Haffmann
France, (English Subtitles) 2021, Drama, 109 mins, Rated PG 13+
Director: Fred Cavaye
Cast: Daniel Auteuil, Gilles Lellouche, Sara Giraudeau

A talented jeweller, Joseph Haffmann (Daniel Auteuil) and his family live a comfortable life in the business district of Paris in 1941.

But after the Nazi occupation, Joseph watches helplessly as fellow Jews are extracted from the city at gun point. So he hurriedly enacts a plan to send his family to safety and for his newly appointed assistant, Francois to "buy" his jewellery business. Their understanding is that Joseph and his family will return and reclaim the business and their lives once the war has ended. But Joseph is unable to leave and must live, hidden in the store with the help of Francois.

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
