Genesis Energy phoning for new business

Rosie from Parkvale

Have just had a phone call from a lady from Genesis wanting me to switch power companies. I asked about working in sales from a call centre during lockdown. She said that Genesis is an essential industry which it is. However its website says that it is open to serve its existing customers. So I asked the caller if I agreed to switch companies would I need to wait till the lockdown is over. Oh no, she said. All Genesis staff are available to switch you over at any time. I am appalled that Genesis is doing sales during lockdown with all the implications for their staff having to keep working on business as usual.

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 🪙💰🪙

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?

Dog wanted small to medium.

Terence from Hastings Central

We recently lost our wee Poppy of 12 years, who was nearly 18 years old. We would prefer a female but would consider any that dog that needs a loving home.
