Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
66.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
33.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜

Are you for, or against?
-
9.6% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.4% I want to be able to choose.
-
47% Against. I want to deal with people.
