Can someone in Wellington arrange the same thing? Some of the stuff I've seen floating in the drains would literally make your eyes water.... We need to use our Wellington "Walkwise" wardens issuing tickets for littering. Make the fine an on the spot one at say $20 or $50. Have the wardens carry battery operated EftPOS terminals so offenders couldn't avoid paying with the "Sorry I don't carry cash." this could avoid the costs of the current high penalties having to go through the courts system. Now there's a better income earner even than parking tickets.

Why is everything linked to the Rugby World Cup? Why is the Auckland City Council is planning a crackdown on litterbugs ahead of the Rugby World Cup? Will it be OK after, are we going to have All Blacks monitoring litter during the world cup? Will the penalties for litter be greater during the world cup? Why am I getting fed up with hearing about the Rugby World Cup. Maybe the 3news team could do a story on all the idiot things linked to the RWC. No, make that a series.
