Parked up to make a point

Matt Tso Reporter from Community News

Passers-by looked on with mirth and confusion at Alex Dyer's act of "productive civil disobedience".

Dyer was occupying a car park in central Wellington - sitting at a desk with his laptop open, engrossed in a meeting - having fed the meter for its use

His act was part of the Picnics in the Park movement which repurposes underutilised street space into neighbourhood amenities.

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?
