Need a place to live
Hi Neighbours
My landlord has sold my flat and after living in the same place for many years I am now faced with needing another place to call home. Short or long term tenancy. Must have own bathroom facilities as I have a partial disability and be located preferably in Linwood. I've only ever lived in one rental as I am a stable tenant so I only have the one great reference. Never missed a rent payment and kept up with maintenance. I need a place by mid June at the latest. Thanks so much. Lisa Ph 0276828774 or email lisacowe@snap.net.nz
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
