Confusion over Porirua Anzac Day
Porirua City Council is in damage control mode after a series of communication blunders which saw a local Returned and Services Association (RSA) told it would be charged for Anzac Day traffic management, and that it wanted one ceremony “that brings people together and does not divide”.
Tītahi Bay RSA president Simon Strombom was told by a council staffer on Wednesday that it would need to pay $1400 for road services associated with its dawn service in 2022.
Once word spread on social media, the council issued a statement saying the council would continue to cover traffic management costs for dawn services.
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.
