A couple of my Dietes irises' flowers opened up today, in my succulent garden out the front of my house. πŸ˜ƒ

Sharon from Te Atatu South

They were unwanted plants transplanted from someone else's garden as they had taken over there (she'd left them out on the berm for people to collect!), and they are very hardy and drought tolerant. πŸ˜ƒ MORE SO than the much prettier Dutch irises (with the even longer stems!) that produced a couple of flowers this year - the Dietes irises will produce even more! The ones by Pak N Save Lincoln are producing lots of flowers. πŸ˜ƒ

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 πŸͺ™πŸ’°πŸͺ™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Outdated 'Recent Notices in New Zealand'

Fiona from Henderson

Can anyone here or from Neighbourly.co.nz please explain to me why we have the so called ''Recent Notices in New Zealand' a.k.a. death notices tab here on Neighbourly when if fact, the most recent death notice is from 2023?
I don't know if anyone has used this tab recently, if ever, I only used when looking for a friend's recent death notice.
If this isn't going to be updated or in fact be what they say it is, 'Recent Notices in New Zealand', then please replace it with something we can all access with up to date information, maybe bring back the groups option - just a thought.
Any ideas people?
