Rural dog owners to get $20 discount
Taupō District Council is providing pet dog owners in rural areas with a $20 discount (or refund, if already paid) on their dog registration costs.
The decision was made on Tuesday in response to a large number of complaints about the increase from $25 to $85 (the registration cost paid by urban owners.
Rural dog owners -- what do you think about the $20 refund?
Pretty sweet deal? Happy to be heard? Or do you feel the cost, even at $65, is still unfair, given dog control costs are largely incurred by dogs in urban areas?

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?
