😔Covid-19 fears cut cancer patient's 30 year GP career short😔

Fiona from Henderson

An incredible, heartwarming and heartbreaking, but totally honest life story from the wonderful GP, Liz Fitzmaurice posted on Stuff.
www.stuff.co.nz...

I love the moving and sometimes relatable feelings, thoughts and the real life emotions; but above all, the no-nonsense approach to today's health climate crisis - Covid.

Her calm, but well reasoned approach, is the exact calmness we all seem to have lost in this wild ocean of anger and despair currently happening in this mad Covid world, that we all really need right now. Thank you Liz🥰

My favourite quote from Liz, that is in this article reads:
"When people write of “personal freedom,” it seems to read like they are actually speaking of “personal privilege”.

She is fully in support of vaccine mandates to protect vulnerable people like her.

I wish her well and nothing but good, kind caring people to surround her during her time of need as well as happiness for the rest of her life, all that she deserves (and then some more).

💗💗BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH LIZ FITZMAURICE💗💗

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?
