Americas cup Victory

Simone Neighbourly Lead from Torbay - Long Bay

Just wanted to say thank you to both team New Zealand and The Luna Rosa Italian Team for the exciting racing you have entertained alot of us with. Thank you team NZ for keeping the old mug here again and making us all proud to be Kiwi's and to help us take our minds away from the dreaded Covid -19 for a while. But I also want to say a big thank you to the Luna Rosa Team whom have lived and worked alongside us Kiwi's to help keep the cup event alive even through this pandemic is causing havoc back in their homeland your crew and support people would have been worried day by day for friends and family back home but then having to keep focused on trying to win the America's cup, you may have lost the race but you have won a place in kiwis hearts and we hope that you will come back next time to race us again. NZ would also like to thank all the other race teams that have spent months or even years here preparing for the America's cup challenge. You have laughed with us cried with us and gone through the pandemic with us we have supported you all and you have all supported us, we hope that you will support us again and return for the next America's cup challenge. We will welcome you all back with a smile.

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?
