Scepticism about media and sports people and others recommending medications.

Bruce from Napier South

Peter Williams is touting "Relief Cream Helped His Knee & Elbow pain"
on both Neighbourly and Facebook. A typically glossy American style advert loaded with personal recommendations and a USA Doctor who would probably do so if the price was right. How much was Peter Williams paid?
The advert quotes in small print.

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?
