More bans

Phil at Pacific Empire has a depressingly long list of recently proposed bans:

* Billboards in downtown Auckland
* Onselling of tickets
* Wearing of gang colours
* Sugary drinks in schools
* Driving while using a cellphone
* Smacking of children
* Hunting the great white shark
* Party Pills

Sometimes it seems to me that Governments have only two responses to issues. To ban or to tax, or both!!
