Opinion poll

Is the Christchurch International Airport doing the right thing by refusing to allow sleepovers?

Yes - it's not exactly Singapore or Dubai where things are happening 24/7 - it's an airport, not a backpackers.

No - where's the warm welcome Kiwis are renowned for, shouldn't we do more than is expected of us?

Yawn - don't care, too broke to go anywhere so have to stay at home.
