Dunk Mayor Ron Mark and help save our Indoor Pool

Amy from Carterton District

Want to publicly ‘dunk’ Carterton Mayor Ron Mark? What’s it worth? Bid on our TradeMe auction and the pleasure could be all yours. The public dunking will take place at the Carterton Daffodil Festival on Sunday 10 September.

See auction - www.trademe.co.nz...

Thanks so much to good-sport Ron Mark for offering himself up for this good cause. All proceeds will be going to the Carterton Indoor Pool Building Replacement Project.

Please help save our local pool, which serves so many - old and young - in Carterton and South Wairarapa. It’s the only all-year-round community pool in Wairarapa outside of Masterton.

Don’t want to bid but want to donate any amount? Any donations - large or small - are grafefully received at our givealittle page - givealittle.co.nz...

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?
