Appreciation post
It's always sad to conclude a series of Write Your Story community workshops. With a common sense of purpose, people from all walks of life connect with one another. Aspirations and experiences are shared, and friendships are formed. This series of workshops is not just a learning experience, it's a journey of wellbeing where we acknowledge the important people in our lives, celebrate our achievements and reflect on the challenges we or members of our whanau has overcome. We all grow from this experience. What a privilege.

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.
