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?

Patrick from Grey Lynn

Hi neighbours,

I’m Pat - a solo lawn mowing operator based here in Grey Lynn.

I’ve recently started PT Mowing and am taking on a few small to medium residential lawns in the area.

I offer one-off mows as well as regular weekly or fortnightly service. Every visit includes mowing, trimming and a clean blow-off.

Clear, upfront pricing based on lawn size — no surprise charges.

If you’d like a quote, feel free to message me here or send through a couple of photos and your address. I’m also happy to pop by and quote in person.

You can also find me on Facebook under "PT Mowing" 😁
