A21 Walk for Freedom Mount Maunganui - 20 Oct 2018
This October 20th in cities around the world thousands of people will join the annual ‘Walk for Freedom’ – to raise awareness of, and funds to fight, the $150 billion industry that is human trafficking. Banks Reserve, Banks Avenue is the launch point for Mount Maunganui’s ‘Walk for Freedom.’
The 3km walk is to raise awareness about modern day slavery and also fundraise for the amazing organisation A21 that works on the front line to rescue, rehabilitate and prevent human trafficking. A21 has 14 offices in 12 countries around the world with the aim to reach, rescue and restore. A21’s mission is to end slavery. There are an estimated 40.3 million people trapped in modern day slavery. Come raise your voice and be a voice for the voiceless.
Participating in the walk costs nothing more than two hours of your time. And all are welcome.

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?
