"Rates rebate applications closing soon
We know some people can find it tough to pay their rates.

Closing date for applications is coming up soon. If you meet the criteria, make sure your application is submitted by 30 June 2022.

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.
