Aggravated robbery incident in Calflers Park

Mike from Tikipunga

My son and his girlfriend were attacked by 3 gutless thugs in the park behind the library about a month ago, in the middle of the day. He was intimidated and forced to hand over all his stuff including his wallet and backpack and other items. A report was made to the police and strange enough we saw the same people with a backpack that looked the same as the one taken a few days after, we were able to photo shoot one of them. We informed the police as we were able to identify who he was through a number of people we know in the community. The police visited his place but the family is protecting him and nothing seems to be happening. This was a blatant non provoked, aggravated robbery and the identified person has a history of this by what the other people are saying. I would like to know if anyone else has had a similar unprovoked incident like this recently. As these people are blatant and seem to have no concerns still walking the streets.

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?
