Poll: Should international visitors be charged a levy?
Tourists arriving in New Zealand may soon have to pay to enter the country under a Government proposed international visitor levy.
The proposal would impact international visitors entering New Zealand for 12 months or less and would be at a rate between $25 to $35.

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.
