Hamilton woman’s $50 flax roses are helping her family get by
Marama Wade sits outside her River Rd home selling harakeke roses for $50, trying to keep food on the table and the rent paid.
The 54-year-old said the reason she’s out there is simple, especially with Valentine’s Day approaching.
“We’re broke. The reality is life is hard.”
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
60.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated
