Poll: Do you reckon the Chiefs can do it on Saturday?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

As the Chiefs aim to make it third-time-lucky in their quest for sweet Super Rugby Pacific success, they are vowing to this time get things right in the discipline department to give them a better tilt at a long-awaited title.

The Hamilton-based franchise, who on Monday had positive news to report in fullback Shaun Stevenson having cleared HIA protocols to be available for a last outing before jetting to Japan next season, take on the Crusaders in Christchurch in Saturday night’s final, seeking a first championship in a dozen years.

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.
