Poll: Should we encourage freedom camping as a means to boost Auckland tourism?

Reporter Rodney Times

Reserves and public car parks around Auckland will likely be opened up to freedom campers as Auckland Council moves to meet its responsibilities under the 2011 Freedom Camping Act by creating freedom camping zones on council-owned land across the super-city.

Legacy bylaws, restricting freedom camping, are up for review. And, while new bylaws are being drafted, more sites will open up for freedom campers.

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?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

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