PROTESTING AGAINST HOMELESSNESS AT PARLIAMENT

Daisy from Feilding

Great trip to Parliament yesterday. The dogs were a hit! Have been in discussions with 2 animal shelters - SPCA and HUHA. People not being able to keep their pets as they are unable to find housing with them is a real issue. We were approached by Jenny Salesa's office and are now in communication with them about my situation. We also got on 3 news! So a very successful trip.
There are 1899 families in motels, 42,000 officially homeless, 150,000 sleeping rough. From $52 million to (expected to rise to) $300 million in 2 years in government assistance. Homelessness is a real problem in NZ. We are all paying for it in taxes. Paying for motel rooms is not the answer.
People shouldn't be punished for housing themselves. There aren't enough houses for everyone but everyone deserves a home.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Kiwisaver Changes

Stephen from Kelvin Grove

Has your accountant told you about recent changes to KiwiSaver contribution rates and how they may affect wages and payroll calculations?

These updates can have flow-on effects for both employers and employees, and understanding them early helps avoid surprises.

Many business owners rely on their accountant not just for compliance, but for timely communication and practical guidance when changes occur.
