Poll: Yay or nay to tourist fees? 🌏💰

Kiwis love tourism ... it brings in cash and connection. But with more visitors comes more pressure on our beautiful places, housing, and local infrastructure.

So what’s the fix? Should we bring in a tourism tax or focus on spreading visitors beyond the hotspots to ease the load? 👇

Interested in what kiwis have to say? Andrea Vance shares some opinions in the Post.

Don't overthink this riddle...

Ashleigh from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?

Government targeted relief

Garth from Hillcrest

My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
