Poll: How about WINZ and OSCAR funded weekend childcare facilities?

Donna from Roslyn - Terrace End

I am a single parent struggling on a benefit. I meet employers interested in giving me a job but so far 100% of them have wanted weekend work as well. I don't have access to free family babysitters and I'm not going to pay a babysitter all my minimum wage. I'm guessing other single parents and some couples have this road block to. Isn't it about time day cares and places like the YMCA are open 7 days?

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?

Working pool pumps

Traci from Highbury - Westbrook

Has the above ground pool had it but the pump still works? I would like to buy it from you for a reasonable price. Any size considered. Cheers
