Hi Ho, To the Supermarket We Go!

Andrea from Eden Terrace

I have never seen my parents
Really quite so excited
Pouring over shopping lists
And looking so delighted

Mum putting on her dress
and kicking up her heels
Dad putting on his game face
To get the food to cook the meals

A little like a game of roulette
I wish them well on their caper
As most stores are out of stock
Of necessities like loo paper

Looking like a surgeon
They face off with their masks
Prepared to ward off the virus
They wait in line, 2 metres apart

And then like a bull to a flag
The store allows them in
And quickly they disappear
Down aisle’s and out again

Never did I think the mundane
Could bring such delight
And when the Alert is over
We deserve a SHOUTOUT for doing what was right

Be Safe
Be Kind

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: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
