Poll: Do you think the NZ flag debate should be revived?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Something very similar to John Key's favoured design was the background for Trade Minister Todd McClay during recent international talks.

He says people shouldn't read anything into it, though his Labour counterpart has other ideas.

Do you think we should have another debate on the NZ flag?

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
