Meanwhile at our Waitamata local board

Adam from Westmere

With all that's going on at the moment we still have local politics.,

I think our local board should save the council the $72 Million they want to spend on bike tracks in the Westmere area. Yesterday Gen Sage, chairperson and 3rd ranked C&R caucus member again whipped with City Vision and voted yes to bike tracks in the full knowledge that the budget committees at council will cull them. Not a very astute political move by Gen Sage to cross the floor for nothing. We still have two years of this nonsense.

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?
