Missing Man - Hutt Valley

The Team from Wellington District Police

Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a Hutt Valley man who has been missing for two months.

Thomas Basire, 28, was last seen near the Ewen Bridge on Railway Ave, walking on the stop bank towards Petone on 24 November 2024.

Tom was wearing a red long-sleeved sweatshirt, black trousers and black sneakers at the time of his disappearance.
Today, Police have a specialist search team conducting a search of the Hutt River and riverbank.

It is out of character for Tom to not be in contact with his family, especially to miss seeing his family on his birthday in December.

Both Police and Tom’s family have serious concerns for his wellbeing and would like to know he is safe.

If you have any information on Tom’s whereabouts, please update us online now or call 105, quoting reference number 241213/6143.

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?
