God Save The Queen

Michael from Trentham

It certainly seems that Elizabeth The 2nd, Queen of Great Britain & Northern Ireland and NZ among others, is ailing at a rather rapidly increasing pace.
Many people in the UK and NZ are hoping for her modernistic and capable grandson William to immediately be transformed to next in succession and take over the role occupied by the Queen. But it looks obvious Charles and Camilla will become King and Queen any day now.

NZ is already a country with both sides of its political aisle looking to dispense with royalty as the head of state and proclaim a republic with an elected president mirrowing to a great extent what a British King or Queen embodies in NZ.

And so the dour, slightly off key and tainted (re Diana) Charles with his unglamorous wife would hasten both NZ (and Australia) becoming republics within the Commonwealth of Nations, do the John Key-thing and fashion a new NZ-own flag and also most likely offically recognise Aotearoa as NZ's number one nation-recognised title.

For me, whoever has at least one Pembroke Corgi they call their own at either Buckingham Palace or Government House gets my support.

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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
