Get out and get vaccinated

Reporter Community News

Mayor Wayne Guppy is urging Upper Hutt residents to get out and get vaccinated.
Upper Hutt was one pf the lowest vaccine rates in the region and experts warn that if Covid strikes it will hit hard.
His plea comes at a time when the Government is urging all New Zealanders to get vaccinated if they want to enjoy an outdoor summer.
Professor Michael Plank, from Canterbury University, said the Delta variant was “really good” at finding unvaccinated populations such as Upper Hutt.
“We also know that any under-vaccinated groups will be at high risk of experiencing a fast-growing outbreak and suffering from higher rates of severe illness, hospitalisation and death.”

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?
