We are seeking to understand what people’s experiences have been of trying to find support for family violence in New Zealand.

If you've been impacted by family violence – including being harmed, causing harm, thinking about causing harm, or supporting others in these situations, we'd love you to complete our anonymous survey and go into the draw to win one of three $50 Prezzy cards.

Your experiences will help us to assist others who are seeking support in the future, therefore we will be very grateful for your thoughts.

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?

Wills and Luxon are screwing the country to please the oil and gas industry.

Markus from Green Bay

Today the smart investment is in battery peaker plants in combination with solar and wind, or with any other renewable generation capacity during low demand times.
Gas is expensive and will get more so over time.

Let's not forget that Nicola Willis' dad is a big time oil and gas investor, lobbyist, and industry insider.

Maybe this should be posted in ‚Crime & Safety‘?
