ALL proceeds from the sale of these cat toys go directly to THE SCRATCHING POST.
THE SCRATCHING POST is operated by the Stratford Companion Animal Assistance Trust (S.C.A.A.T), an animal welfare charity based in Stratford, Taranaki.
They provide temporary shelter and care for young stray and unwanted kittens until they are old enough to be placed into permanent homes through adoption.
They are a non-profit registered charity who have been serving the Taranaki Region since 2012, and are 100% operated by Volunteers.
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Electricity Profits
Holy Moses, Contact Energy made a small profit for last 6 months, only 44%
This is just unbelievable, talking about Luxon and his wealthy mates ripping us off in the challenging times.
Why does the government want to put a LEVY on the poor citizen of NZ, mainly to fund the LNG Storage Facility in Taranaki.
