The protesters today at Parliaments

Karen from Karori

The protesters today at Parliament, need to have their heads knocked together to get some sense into them. Don't they realise that there is no choice with this virus. By protesting like this, they are putting themselves and others at risk. They are so selfish wrapped up in their own Facebook and Twitter worlds, that they don't and won't see the truth, and the reality of this situation. Where else would they like to be living? New Zealand has always been a 'freedom' place for want of a better description and the team of three, PM, Dr Bloomfield and Minister of Finance, have done an admirable job in keeping us safe thus far. The people NOT keeping us safe, are the protestors today at Parliament, Aucklanders who have admitted breaking the lockdown rules and travelling over the border. Get over it and start thinking. Although unfortunately, the arrogant people protesting at Parliament today have no brain, are not thinking, otherwise they would be vaccinated and be wanting to keep the peace. Trump followers I bet.

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?
