What do you think of candidates' criminal convictions?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Criminal convictions are no bar to standing in the local body elections (as long as candidates are not currently serving a jail term of three years or more). There is also no requirement to declare any convictions but the majority of Northland mayoral candidates think their should be. What do you think?

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?
