Here at Y!X we like to let you have your say.
Our readers' views are important to us - that's why we want to get your opinions every day on a range of subjects.
So we thought it was time for a little feedback...
Our daily poll asks you what you think about a topic in the news, whether it's raising rego, having a brothel operating near your home or the right fine for taking a cat's life.
At the moment we're working on a way to publish the results of our questions but in the meantime, here's a look at how you voted over the past couple of weeks:

Sure we fill out the opinion polls but if the pollis don't listen whats the use?
Mar 17 08:56 pmThey won't enforce referendums or petions so whats the use?
Can anyone tell me?
Or are these polls just a sop to "publis opinion" to make us believe we matter.
Hi
May 31 08:55 amWhile I myself respond to many of your polls I pick and choose the issues I am interested in and trying to impact, and I suspect that soes does everyone else. Thus there is a certain element of skew in your polls that should be acknowledged. I have also received and email from a political party I used to belong to asking me to respond to a particular poll. The results of that poll reflected what the party wanted, not surprising when thousands of party members were asked to partake.
It is likely that it will be unseen by many but I would like to thank the site operators for this opportunity.
Aug 13 10:56 pmI am a New Zealand citizen but spend little time in NZ any more.
I spend most of my time in Asia, surrounded by presumed extremists, potential immigrant dole bludgers, and various criminal elements not acceptable to NZ even for a tourist visa !
The joke is to read the news highlights of NZ on a daily basi
And people comment in this space about who should be appearing on Dancing With the Stars? My god! Spoiled people with no brain, and even less imagination! ! ! The current Govt YOU voted for will suck the marrow from your bones yet! And I always thought it was the Ozzies who were wanna be Americans ! Hahahahaha
Aug 13 11:00 pmThese polls are rigged
Aug 17 12:41 pmI tried to vote "NO" to compensation for Bain and got blocked several times.
So tested it by voting "YES" and it went straight through!!! Coincidence??
