The Lock Down

Dean from Glenfield

ISN'T THIS LOCKDOWN GREAT
I remember that time I woke up in the morning and thought
What shall I do
I had breakfast and thought
what shall I do
I sat down in the lounge and though
what shall I do
I looked out the window and thought
what shall I do
I walked out side and thought
what shall I do
I sat down and thought
what shall I do
I walked around the house and thought
what shall I do
I went inside and thought
what shall I do
I sat down in the lounge and though
what shall I do
I did some calculations
Saying 4 weeks seems such a long time
1 month sounds better
4 weeks is 28 Days
That's
672 hours
That's
40320 minutes
That's
2419200 seconds
And that's
2419200 000 000 000 nanoseconds
"ARRRRRRRRR PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP"
"Anyways how's your day going?"

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage 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.

We’d 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?

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?
