Poll: Would you raise a pig to enter 'The People's Catergory"?

Reporter Selwyn & Ashburton Outlook

Pig breeders from the Selwyn and Ashburton district cleaned up at the show - bringing home the bacon in a bunch of categories.
Selwyn Swine's James Davidson called it "the people's category" after his syndicate won Supreme Champion All Breeds for their sow Amy Swinehouse.
Are you going to join the piggy-craze and raise next year's champion at your place?
Check out the story of the Lowcliffe ladies who took top spot in their division of the pig category at the show here: www-alpha.stuff.co.nz...

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.
