Hi neighbours, my partner and I play in a local band called "Soul Deep".  We live at" 09 McAuley Rd. Portobello"(behind "Happy Hens).  We have been here for around 18 months, we hold band practice in our home most Sunday afternoons, and our immediate neighbours seem to be fine with the sound we produce, which is both supportive and encouraging.  So as a gesture of appreciation for you our Portobello neighbours and community, the band would like to invite you to our :

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Are you for, or against?
