Bookarama

Marina from Avonhead

I just came across this article: www.stuff.co.nz...
Now I know why only rubbishy books were available during recent Bookaramas. Who donates their good books to Rotary so booksellers can make a heap of money? Bookarama is a community event, not an opportunity for book sellers to make a huge profit. Everyone should have the same chances. It's absolute bollocks that they put out more quality books. What they put out at the start is what was donated recently. Once the shelves get empty, they replenish with what was left over from the previous Bookarama. They should only allow bags up to a certain size. That would solve the problem and everyone would have the same chance.

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?
