GANG AFFILIATION
Professor David Williams in his open letter to Corrections Minister Judith Collins supporting Ngapari Nui as a prison kaiwhakamana completely misses the point. If he was a former gang member who had rejected gang life I would agree with Williams but he is not, he is a currently patched member of Black Power. While he may not be actively recruiting, his presence gives credibility and validity to gang life. Judith Collins’ decision is absolutely the right one.

REFERENDUM
I hope that any new people standing for council will push for having a binding referendum on the "H" being put into the spelling of Wanganui. We as ratepayers should stand up for a referendum and don't let people outside of Wanganui tell us how to spell our city name. (Abridged.)
