Me whai rohe pōti Māori tātau?

Communications from Hastings District Council

Should we have Māori wards for our local government elections?

Kia ora,
Me whakatū ai tātau i ngā rohe pōti Māori mō ngā pōtitanga ā-rohe hei te tau e tū mai nei? Kōrero mai ōu whakaaro.

Hei whakamōhiotanga māu, kia tukua ā-ipurangi rānei haere ki www.myvoicemychoice.co.nz...
Hei te Rāpa, te tekau mā rua (12) o Haratua ka katia ngā tukunga kōrero.

Should we have Māori wards for our local elections next year? Introducing Māori wards means voters on the Māori roll would vote for candidates in Māori wards instead of general wards. Tell us what you think.

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?
