Keep safe this summer
Barbecues are the focal point for a lot of Summer entertaining. Here is a few helpful tips to keep your Whanau safe while BBQ'n.
- If you've got bubbles, you've got troubles. Before using your BBQ, check your BBQ for gas leaks using the soapy water test.
- Keep looking while you are cooking!
- Don't Drink and Fry. Have a drink after the cooking is done.
- Don't add flammable fluid to an already lit fire.
- Never BBQ in enclosed areas.
- Dispose of hot coals properly and douse them in plenty of water.
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.
