šSTOP Swapping / Lending / Gifting
Hi neighbours
Iām concerned about the continued swapping / gifting / lending of items thatās happening at the moment during the lock down.
We cannot do this during lock down. We cannot have any contact with people and their items that are outside of our bubble during this period.
The virus sits on surfaces, and if itās on an item that we have gifted someone then that family / person may become infected. Itās too big of a risk. How would we feel if we infected a family and one of them died?
We all need to be mindful about this because if NZ doesnāt get in front of this during the lock down, we will be closed for longer and more jobs will be lost, and potentially will lose lives. The impacts will be even greater than they are now.
Please stay safe everyone and please keep everyone else safe.
Thanks
Danni

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereās 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 šŖš°šŖ
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship ā like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
