Legal Aid

Roderick from Kelston

Legal aid funding has not gone up in nearly 20 years. Some lawyers are declining to take on cases that are funded by legal aid because their overheads are too high.

What do you think of that?

If you were the defendant in a court case, does it seem fair to you that the current justice system allows the prosecution to get way more funding than the defense?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
