There are already laws for the police to deal with disorderly people. People just drinking alcohol should not be punished because all they are doing is putting a bottle in their mouth. If they get drunk and fight then the police can arrest them, but not everyone who drinks in public causes trouble.</description></item><item><title>The International Peace Symbol in  Wellington City Council's Absolutely Positively Wellington logo.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/121</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/121</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +1300</pubDate><description>The International Peace Symbol is globally recognised,  fifty years old,  still the British based Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament organisation's logo and on a woman's lips on a 1995 one dollar New Zealand stamp, shown in link 1. below. This petition proposes to include this logo in the Wellington City Council's Absolutely Positively Wellington logo.</description></item><item><title>Make the Register of  Interests for councillors and the Mayor publicly available on the WCC website.</title><link>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/123</link><guid>http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/e-petitions/ep/details/123</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +1300</pubDate><description>A Register of Interests is a tool that provides transparency to elected members including the Mayor and their spouses to declare publicly any interest they may have, such as shares in private companies, land and/or property ownership. This gives them and citizens peace of mind and eliminates any urban myths.

I do not smoke, but I support the right of any Kiwi to do so.</description></item></channel></rss>
