Are you kainga rua - do you have two homes?

Social Media Manager from Tuia 250 ki Tōtaranui

Meretoto provided a safe point of arrival for both Māori and Europeans and Cook quickly recognised the advantages ‘Ship Cove’ had to offer.
Some of the people Cook met during his expeditions were kainga rua, that is, they had two homes, one on each side of Cook Strait which they visited seasonally.

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?
