If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
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?
-
50% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
30% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
20% ... It is complicated
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

-
43.4% I want to be able to choose.
-
47% Against. I want to deal with people.
