Ok, HERE'S a little bit of cuteness for everybody to enjoy. πŸ˜ƒ

Sharon from Te Atatu South

My POOR confused little lockdown friend (not my cat! The neighbours' cat!), wondering why I can't let her in. AS I took this photo, I was saying, "I DO love you! I DO! It's just I can't let you in, coz lockdown rules." πŸ˜ƒ Hehehe. πŸ˜ƒ You MAY NOT be able to see this quite clearly (my dumb phone's camera sucks) but she actually has slightly crossed eyes! πŸ˜ƒ No I don't know her name, but I call her Tabby, coz she is one - she has a collar with a worn-out scruffy leopard print bowtie attached, and she's been visiting my garden the past two days (and the past several months, actually) and driving the mynah birds CRAZY whenever she appears!!!!!!!! No, I don't mind - she keeps me company but has to stay OUTSIDE during lockdown as she is part of someone else's bubble and I don't want to pass anything on to her owner on her fur. πŸ˜ƒβ€οΈοΈβ€οΈοΈ

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 πŸͺ™πŸ’°πŸͺ™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
