The Team from Canterbury Police

Police can now release an image of the backpack, and its contents, located with the man found deceased on Horotane Valley Road, Heathcote Valley on Friday 19 September.

We appreciate all those who have come forward with information so far and continue to follow lines of enquiry where they become available; unfortunately, the man remains unidentified.

The man is thought to be in his 30’s or 40’s, with a distinctive birthmark on his left forearm. When located he was wearing a black long sleeve woollen jersey, black trousers and grey tramping boots.

If you have any information that could assist us in identifying this man, please contact Police on 105 and quote file number 250919/7193.

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?
