Biography Writer needed:
"We are looking for someone who is interested in or maybe has had experience helping people write their biographies/life stories. We have an elderly couple in North Invercargill and are looking for someone to interview them and write up their stories. They already have books with all the questions written up in them but seem resistant or unable to do these themselves. We do not necessarily require these to be hand written, a dictaphone/tape recorder and a computer would be fine. Someone who has an interest in history could find this a rewarding thing to be involved in.
Anyone who is interested, could you please email us with your contact details and we will be in touch. c.scorgie@xtra.co.nz "
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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
