Police say they are disappointed by the high number of drink drivers they have nabbed around Auckland.

Officers handed out 1100 infringement notices and arrested 78 drivers this month.

They carried out more than 70 checkpoints and breath tested nearly 14,000 people.

Police are planning more checkpoints over summer.

They have warned drivers to plan ahead and to avoid driving impaired.

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?
