Always Fly Fishing jacket

Rosemary from Nawton

Jacket is brand new, never been used. Because it was stuffed in a drawer (I didn't know about it) for more than 5 years I can't sell it as brand new. I can't find any information on the brand online either. It definitely is quality gear.

It is multi-pocketed, several are pockets within pockets and are sealed with Velcro. There is a window on the top right hand side to display the licence. The lower part of the jacket can be removed as can the sleeves, making it simply a vest. The hood can also be removed.

Size XL. It is quite a heavy jacket (about 2 kg) so I think only a big bloke could use it once it has all the accessories on board. My husband was a big man so it would have been ideal for him. Sadly, his fishing hobby was curtailed due to ill health and I am now trying to sort all his 'stuff'.

Price: $150

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.
