Social Housing in Kensington and Otangarei
Petition reason
We believe: Kāinga Ora’s intensive developments need to consider the impact on infrastructure, urban design, and safety for existing and new coming residents of Kensington and Otangarei; Whangarei’s infrastructure is already under pressure with schools at capacity, Whangarei Hospital functioning with stretched resources, and GPs unable to take more people on; thriving communities should cater to the needs of both newcomers and long-standing residents. What will be done to improve the access to GP and Hospital wait times?

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.
