Southland Buskers Festival 2018

Anne from Central-West Invercargill

Welcome to the 9th annual Southland Buskers Festival!
One of the region’s most accessible and entertaining events. We’re pleased to be back with a fantastic line-up of highly skilled street and circus performers including The Mighty Mike Show (CAN), The Old Time Rags (UK), Bex in Motion (CAN), The Red Trouser Show (USA), Mr Qwirk (NZ), Tianna the Traveller (CAN), Vinyl Burns aka Kim Potter (NZ) and 3 Ring Riot (NZ).
The 2018 Festival kicks off Thursday, 1st February at 6pm with the first of three ILT Busker Cabaret Shows (Queen’s Park, band rotunda area), and we’ll continue the fun and action throughout the day and evening until Sunday afternoon 4th February. 
A big THANK YOU to our great supporters and sponsors for helping us stage the annual Southland Buskers Festival. We couldn’t do it without the generous support of the Invercargill City Council, The Invercargill Licensing Trust, The ILT Foundation, Venture Southland, The Community Trust of Southland, The Southern Trust, Creative NZ Communites and MORE FM.

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: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
