Seonaid from Mount Albert

ALL WELCOME

The New Zealand Society of Genealogists are excited to announce the dates for the 2026 Auckland Family History Expo. This will be held 9-11 October 2026 - mark your diaries now!

We have changed the dates to coincide with the Auckland Heritage Festival and to take advantage of the school holidays.

We are upgrading the venue to the historic King's College, which offers superior facilities, more on-site parking and is just a 400-metre walk from the Middlemore train station.

We look forward to seeing you there. This event is open to everyone.

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?
