The Look Out! Performing Arts & Entertainment Guide
January 13 – January 21
The Look Out! Performing Arts and Entertainment Guide is back for another weekly round of things to do, places to go and shows to see.
There are plenty of organised school holiday activities, along with several ad hoc free events, which include the first of 2020’s Movies in Parks taking place in Bunnythorpe on Friday evening.
Among the outdoorsy, work-off-that-Christmas-waistline events is the Walk the New Highway: Hikoi o Te Ahu a Turanga. That joins the Park Run, the Super Sevens, an arts & garden tour, a beach dig, Beats Bites & Brushes, the Globe Theatre’s Summer Sounds Festival, and the 3-day Marton Country Music Festival. Yee-hah!
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?
-
59.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
