Bird Watch

Yvonne Neighbourly Lead from Casebrook

Hi folks, just a reminder to care for our feathered friends during these cold months.
This little fellow certainly doesn't let me forget as he acts as advance guard for the sparrow regiment by hopping right up to the dining room window and tapping on the glass at breakfast time, just in case I have forgotten. Not to be outdone, the finches let me know when their food in the bird house needs topping up by fluttering their wings and tapping on the kitchen window. So much for the expression "bird brain" as these little fellows certainly use theirs to advantage.

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?
