Aotearoa post Covid 19
I have sent the following letter to ministers Robertson, Twyford and Jones:
Post Covid 19, Aotearoa's future
Human societies do not make radical changes easily. In history it has required some kind of disaster or dangerous crisis for humans to accept the need for radical change. This is surely the situation we are facing now. I hear many voices in New Zealand and around the world calling for a radical re-think of how we plan for the future of life on this planet. Please be courageous in your planning and decision-making. Do not be afraid to create an Aotearoa which leads into a new way of living for the future.
The philosophies of Neo-Liberalism must be put behind us, the ever-growing gap between the rich and poor must must be reversed.
All forms of agriculture and food production must become regenerative and sustainable.
Influence over decision-making must cease to be monopolised by the elite and the wealthy.
We must stop balancing the economy against the environment.
Without an environment which supports healthy life on this planet, all business, all industry, all food production will fail. There will be no profits for share holders. there will be no society as we know it.
In your decision-making, please be courageous and face the tasks in front of you with honesty and wisdom.
Yours very sincerely,
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?
-
66.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
33.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
