Do plans to fly the Maori flag this Waitangi Day show disunity with the rest of New Zealand? Manukau, Whanganui and Rotorua have stated their case against flying the tino rangatiratanga flag. Ngai Tahu have also said they will not hoist the flag in Canterbury, saying the "flag has been nothing but trouble". What flag(s) do you think should be flown?

Do you think that Don Brash and his 2025 Taskforce's radical recommendations would improve New Zealand's salaries compared with Australia's? The average Aussie earns 35% more than us and Dr Brash's 2025 taskforce has come with a way to close that gap – slash Government spending, entitlements and taxes. More specific recommendations include abolishing KiwiSaver benefits, raising the age of national superannuation and privatising more state-owned enterprises. Could you go with this plan?

Mars is at opposition tonight, opposite the Sun in planet Earth's sky. Of course, it will be easy to spot because Mars appears close to tonight's Full Moon, also opposite the Sun in Earth's night sky in the constellation Cancer. For this opposition, Mars remains just over 99 million kilometers away, not a particularly close approach for the Red Planet. Still, this sharp view of Mars recorded on January 22nd is an example of the telescopic images possible in the coming days. The planet's whitish north polar cap is at the upper right. Mars' tiny red disk is about 14 arcseconds in angular diameter, less than 1/100th the diameter of the Full Moon.
