Stolen Kayak
My kayak was stolen from Charcoal Bay some time in the last two weeks. I had locked it to a tree near the beach for a while and I was about to take it back home for winter.
I have heard of a person seen running down Rosecamp Road early last week (Monday or Tuesday) carrying a kayak on his head. If you have any knowledge or seen anything, please private message me.
The kayak is a Mission Glide 420, yellow/green, with a rudder.
While being much fun for the kids the boat is also used to support charity ocean swimmers in the annual Westpac Chopper Swim from Waiheke to Auckland City (www.chopperswim.nz) so I’d very much like it back.
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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
