Unwanted used screws, corrugated iron, wire netting and other building and misc. materials wanted:

Kim from Eyrewell Forest

I am looking for any unwanted second hand building materials to build extra housing for my rescued ducks, and for the domestic egg laying ducks who's eggs support the rescued ducks.

The following sorts of things would be useful if you have any you don't want:

Screws especially self tapping square or phillips type 32mm or longer used is fine as long as they can be reused. Also drill bits for the same screw size as my cordless drill keeps dropping them at random.
Roofing nails or screws
Plywood, corrugated iron, old doors or old windows in wooden frames
Metal brackets, braces supports, flat/straight or corner etc to join or brace wooden sections
Planks of wood in good condition..
Wire netting or fencing wire
Polythene clear plastic
Waratahs all lengths
Staples or brads 18 guage for a staplegun unused.
Any other items that might be useful to build a duck house

Also if anyone has an old automatic washing machine they no longer need, it would be outdoors used to wash towels and other linen used for ducklings, so wouldn't matter if it had like small leaks etc as long as all functions (wash, spin, drain water) worked.

And if anyone has any duck weed in their streams or pond, or reeds/Bullrushes or flaxes /grasses they don't want, to plant round my duck pond.

Or unwanted artificial grass/Astro turf.

If you can help with any of the above please text 020 406 41485

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?
