Melanie Earley Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a hero rescuer who pulled two women from a sinking car in Auckland harbour says he “just did my best” to help.

Will Sergeant was driving along Westhaven Drive, in central Auckland, on Wednesday afternoon when he heard a loud crash and saw a car go over the edge of the road into the harbour.

He leapt out of his vehicle, called out for help, and dived into the harbour after the car. He then set to work trying to free two women who were trapped inside.

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?
