20 Reasons to decline a license to pollute

Michelle from Titahi Bay

Last night's hui was an eye-opener for the community, a meeting on a significant asset with significant impact on the environment, aquatic and human life, and not one Council representative there. Instead we had to listen to Council contractors justification of their spend on $1.7million thus far, on a license to pollute. What it feels like is they are spending all this time and money to create a consent document to justify what they are already doing (and increase doing) so they won't be penalised in the future.

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?
