Poll: Should the speed limit be reduced to 70kmh on rural roads?

Rhonwyn Newson Reporter from Rodney Times

A landmark report by an inter-governmental organisation with 59 member countries - including New Zealand - is recommending that rural roads that don't have median barriers should have their speed limits lowered to 70kmh.

Taken literally, that would mean that almost NZ's entire roading network, state highways included, would need to have their speed limits reduced to 70kmh. Only those section of motorways with median barriers would be allowed to retain their 100kmh limit.

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?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
