🌿 Tip of the Month: Why Wills Need Health Checks Too!
Just like our health, your Will deserves regular check-ups to stay in shape. Life changes—new relationships, kids, property, or cultural commitments—can mean your Will no longer reflects your wishes.
Keeping your Will up to date:
✅ Mitigates the risks of family disputes
✅ Protects blended families
✅ Respects cultural values (like Māori & Pasifika traditions)
✅ Ensures your assets go where you intend
Key takeaway:
A "healthy" Will is a current Will. We recommend reviewing yours every 3-5 years or after any major life event. If you don’t have a Will yet and would like to discuss your options, we’re here to help.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
78.8% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
21.2% No. This would be impossible in practice.
