May you all be Blessed at Christmas and have a wonderful New Year 2020.
Once again, the year has rolled by quickly and we have arrived at the Christmas Season 2019. Let us all pause to be grateful for the gifts of kindness we have received from family and friends, neighbours and strangers. We don't live a fulfilling Life in isolation, and we have people around to remind us that we too are kind, giving and caring of those whom we touch in every aspect of Life.

So, from the entire Team at Caring 4 Smiles Dental Group, Epsom, we thank every one who has walked in to become a close friend at our clinic and wish everyone of you and your family members a Blessed Christmas. Prayers that your New Year 2020 is filled with great Joy and Happiness.
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?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—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?
-
87% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
13% No. This would be impossible in practice.
