The Mall To The Rescue of Itself
To all those who have already or threaten to boycott The Mall because of recent events and discussions, there is some alternative news here.
All five escalators are now operating which means that the "going up" only ground to first floor moving staircase is now full of movement at full speed.
The Mall does have free parking afterall for 120 minutes as The Mall's own extremely convenient outside (the main entrance) parking area is freely available.
Spoke to a couple of retailers within The Mall who seemed unperturbed and say there is plenty of free parking close by for customers to park their vehicles.

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?
