Thanks re guava moth and backyard orchards

David from Pakuranga Heights

Hi Neighbours. Re my issue with the dreaded guava moth which lays eggs on all kinds of fruit. You may remember my plea during summer to pick up and destroy windfall fruit. Many thanks to those who did. By breaking the cycle in the early part of the season, it meant less damage in the latter part. The recent fruit season was the best I've had since the guava moth scourge hit us. I eliminated about 200 guava grubs, drowned in a bucket of water. Late in the season I had about 10% of plums untouched, and about 50% of peaches. Good work. We must fight back. Take care, David H.

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?
