New Caledonia quiz night + French buffet + could win a free trip... this Saturday 17 September
Because it is in a function room rather than a bar at Sky City people under 18 are allowed to attend.
You don’t have to be an Alliance Francaise member, and it doesn’t really matter how well people do in the quiz. It’s just an excuse for a bit of fun and a French meal. But as it’s sponsored by New Caledonia tourism it’s great value for what’s included, and attendees will go in the draw for a free trip to New Caledonia…
Buy tickets from the Alliance Francaise website. $25 non-member, $15 youth under 18. $15 for Alliance Members. Includes the meal, 1 drink, quiz and trip draw.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
