Cost of Living

Judith from Ilam

I don't know about others, but I am heartily sick of hearing people complain about the cost of living, blaming the current Govt. and how they are going to move to Australia where, presumably, it will be better (I lived there for 30 years so I can assure those contemplating this, things WON'T be any better.) So, it might be timely for complainers to read the following article from the highly respected ABC News.

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?
