Watch out for bluebottle jellyfish at Muriwai beach
Hi neighbours, at least 17 people were stung by bluebottle jellyfish at Muriwai on Monday. Thousands of people were at the beach that day, despite a warning being posted on Auckland Council's Safeswim website about a large number of jellyfish being in the water.
The beach goers who were stung received first aid treatment from lifeguards. Bluebottle jellyfish stings cause whip-like red welts that can last for up to three days. They can be extremely painful, so make sure you watch out for them and check for warnings.
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?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
