todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce a new course in its ongoing Religious Diversity series entitled "Agnostic Theism: Being Religious Without A Religion" Wednesday nights 7:00-8:30pm beginning on 9 Nov 2022, 4 consecutive weekly sessions in November.

This course helps learners make sense of their belief system and juxtapose their worldview against others who may or may not share similar perspectives. We welcome those of all faiths (and those having no faith) with the only prerequisites being an open mind and mutual respect.

Please note that this course is offered via Zoom only and has no in-person component. It is available from anywhere in the world. Please check our website for global time zone equivalents, or you can watch the recorded video sessions 1-2 days after each live session.

For more information, on this and all of our other courses, please visit our website.

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?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital site in line for a clean-up

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
