Poll: Have you ever taken a ferry from the Coromandel to Auckland?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Auckland to Coromandel ferry services are set to return this summer, but it’s not yet confirmed who will be at the helm.

Fullers announced in October 2022 it was removing its Coromandel ferry service for the summer season until staffing levels allowed it to resume.

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?

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.
