Poll: Is the Government doing enough now to avoid a serious budget gap in the future? 💸

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Long-Term Fiscal Statement just dropped. At first glance, it might seem a bit dry, but the message is pretty clear ... and a bit worrying. The big takeaway? Our financial pressures are only going to keep growing.

Hamilton, let’s break the cycle of insanity!

Rudi from Chartwell

Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Yet only 18,675 of 115,433 eligible voters (16.2%) have voted in Hamilton’s election as of Oct 3. That’s a dangerous trend.

Albert Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Yet only 18,675 of 115,433 eligible voters (16.2%) have voted in Hamilton’s election as of Oct 3. That’s a dangerous trend.

Low turnout hands power to pressure groups who rally their troops, electing councillors who lack the savvy and wisdom to tackle our city’s challenges. Hamilton’s council debt is skyrocketing, hitting hardest at families and those on fixed incomes. We can’t afford more of the same.

Non-voters, this is YOUR moment! Research the candidates who care about Hamilton’s future—people with heart and smarts to prioritize essentials over flashy projects. Check them out here: hamilton.govt.nz...

Voting’s easier than you think: Drop your ballot at NZ Post, council spots like libraries, pools, or Hamilton Zoo.
