Family living in shed next to charred remains of Masterton home

Reporter Community News

The constant smell of charred wood and burnt plastic reminds a Masterton family of how close they came to tragedy.
Hunkered down in a 6-metre by 5-metre tin shed near the burnt-out shell of their house, Bianca Hawea, her two teenage sons and her partner, are trying to pull their lives back together.
The saving grace is the stream of support arriving at the Clyde St property, with friends, family and strangers bringing much needed supplies.

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?
