Books Are Magic!πŸ“šπŸ“š

Anthea from Lifestyle Happy Place

πŸ“š Jim Kwik talks about it all the time. Knowledge is power!

πŸ“š If you can find 45min a day and read a book you be able to learn more and open the doors of opportunity more often, just by learning something new.

πŸ“š What I like about reading is that it can take me away for a bit. Into a different life, someone's story, someone else's dream and get lost just for a bit.

πŸ“š A kind of holiday away from the hectic world we live in and it dont cost a thing.

πŸ“š One tip is to read something that can help you to improve yourself and then share the knowledge with someone elseπŸ’•πŸ™

It's the best way to retain info.

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 πŸͺ™πŸ’°πŸͺ™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed πŸš—πŸš²πŸ‘Ÿ

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisationsβ€”like NZTAβ€”manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
