Merry Christmas please!

Dawn from Feilding

Christmas is almost upon us, and I have to have a moan about something that really irks me!
It is one of the major Christian festivals, but it has become changed by a number of councils to "Happy Holidays" instead of 'Merry Christmas'. All the other religions/ethnicities are referred to by their correct festival title, so I want to see Merry Christmas on the banners. Is this political correctness gone haywire? And why only Christian festivals that are affected? Palmerston North - please change your banners this year.

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?
