Keyboard to borrow
Kia ora neighbours!
I really want to get back in to playing the piano. I grew up learning to play until I was a teenager, then I stopped because a progressive vision impairment meant seeing the sheet music became impossible. I got sad and frustrated (as teenagers do) and gave it up, and I've barely touched a piano in fifteen years. Since then I've learned how to manage my vision loss and figure out work arounds, I really want to try pick it up again before the knowledge is totally gone. I am wondering if anyone might have a keyboard that isn't being used that I might can borrow for a short time (from a few weeks to a few months- anything!) so I can give it a good try to see if I can do this before buying one of my own. I will take excellent care of it. Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Katie
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... 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?

80.4% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
19.6% No. This would be impossible in practice.
