GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!! ๐ Laundromats AND ATMs will stay open during lockdown. ๐
I got this text message from EZ Wash Laundromat this morning: "Dear customers, we have a great news from Newshub today, that self-service laundries can remain stay open during lockdown. So we will no longer provide drop off service until further notice after 4 weeks. We still open for self service only from 6am to midnight daily. Please bring your own coins or notes when you come to do your washing, as [our] eftpos machine is not available during these time. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please stay safe. From EZ Wash Laundromat."
I also got a call from someone at Phil Twyford's office this morning. ๐ He told me ATMs would remain open too, so that's another bit of good news. ๐
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereโs 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 ๐ช๐ฐ๐ช
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed ๐๐ฒ๐
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisationsโlike NZTAโmanage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
Weโd love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
85.2% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
14.8% No. This would be impossible in practice.
