Shout out for the unseen and unpaid work Travel Agents do !
I would like to extend my thoughts to others like myself working in the retail travel industry. I am sure that we would all agree that we are here for our clients and it is our clients needs that come first. We are the ones dealing with the airlines, saving clients time and unnecessary worry about what is happening. We are also the ones negotiating with tour operators, cruise lines and other third parties such like, to achieve a fair resolution. Believe me this is not an easy task and in times like this, for those who still can't see the value of working with a travel agent, I wish them the best of luck.
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.

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?
