Poll: New #LOVETAUPO sign - Do you love it?

Reporter Taupō Times

Our local tourism organisation has put up a sign between the lake and the bars on Roberts St.
What do you think about it?
Should #LOVETAUPO be permanent, like the Hollywood or Wellywood sign, or just special occasions? Have you had a photo with it? Do you feel patriotic for Taupo?

Note: Please write NFP beside your comment if you don't want it to be used in a print story.

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?

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
