Local Elections

Graeme from Blockhouse Bay

I heard an election peace from Wayne Brown yesterday, as part of that speech he was going to fix everything(maybe not all that easy to do) he also said public transport in Auckland was broken, I had just traveled from Blockhouse Bay to Remuera, bus, train bus, then down to Wynyard wharf for lunch, Nothing wrong with the system if you do your homework, I wondered when the last time Mr Brown used public transport, we would all like it to run from our front door(that is what Uber is for, and you pay for it) the system is not perfect and I the people at AT are working to try and get it that way. There maybe a web site were it tells me exactly what Mr Brown is going to do. Yes I have reached the age were I can thank Winston Peters each time I travel(free), I would just like to make the comment that open comments to gain votes are not good. We already have a Govt the has done this and fallen flat(West coast mine, light rail to Auckland Airport) I am not against Mr Brown, he may have some good ideas, just would like to point out, Auckland public Transport does work if you do your home work.

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
