Seriously?
From the Advocate: "Emily Henderson's family has come under heavy fire from Covid anti-vaxxers who have accused her of war crimes and treason, but the Whangārei MP has vowed not to back off one inch."
Do we need a new mental hospital for anti-vaxers, I am beginning to wonder. Tin foil hats at parliament and 'take your shoes off to reconnect with the Earth, that'll heal you' aside -- I think they have crossed the line of acceptable, reasonable, rational behaviour some time ago; but threatening the families of people who don't follow their lunacy is way way past it. I am appalled (if not entirely surprised). I hope someone has the sense to bring prosecutions: We do not need people like that in our community!
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
