Have you seen missing dogs Dice and Weed?

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

The owners of two dogs that went missing nearly six months ago are asking Marlburians to keep thier eyes peeled, following potential sightings in the region.

Dice, a 9-year-old black poodle, and Weed, a 3-year-old black and white fox terrier cross, were first reported missing from the Otago Peninsula by their owners Alan Funnell and Louisa Andrew on October 17.

Andrew said on the first and second day New Zealand went into level-four lockdown in response to Covid-19, there were two potential sightings in Kaikōura. There was also another potential sighting in Picton last Friday, April 3.

"It's very difficult, we had a sighting in Kaikōura, which on day one of lockdown sounded really promising," Andrew said.

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?

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.
