Poll: Are you a Lord of The Rings fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The famous sign on the gate to Bilbo Baggins’ house states emphatically “No admittance - except on party business”.

Bilbo might not have been there to partake himself, but a glorious party, complete with star-studded guest list, was held in Hobbiton on Tuesday night. The occasion was the release of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.

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?
