Poll: What's your opinion of adult dorms?

Nicole Lawton Reporter from Central Leader

Hey neighbours! Adult dorms are a thing - we took a look around the most recent example that's about to open on Symonds St, Auckland CBD. The Coh - short for co-home - is charging $360pw for a room smaller than a parking space in the shared house. What's your opinion on shared living?

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?
