Litter on our roads
I drove from Levin to Foxton yesterday and was absolutely horrified at the rubbish on the streets as you go out of Levin. There was McDonalds bags, Iarge plastic bottles, cans, energy drink cans, paper rubbish, coffee cups. People have just been throwing rubbish out the car windows. Our roadsides wherever you go are covered in trash.
It seems to me that the government should be spending money on educating people about littering, rather than banning stickers on fruit. People just need to stop making their rubbish someone else’s problem. Take it home and put it in your rubbish bin.
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?
-
61.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
22.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.1% ... It is complicated
