To those of you looking for fulfilling work, and work that will always be there and is achievable, we encourage you to view previous posts or visit the website www.kalandra.ac.nz... Come to the Campus at 10 Pioneer Street, Henderson. Meet our Lecturers, the staff and our vibrant and enthusiastic students. A future of Care could await you.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
