Neighbourly "quick loan" advert policy update
Just wanted to let everyone know of the outcome for my request to Neighbourly to remove the advertisement for a company that was advertising short term loans at 1% per day interest as well as on the order of 20% loan initiation fees.
Nieghbourly has decided to decline advertising from "quick loan" companies, and has removed the advert that I and many other had considered offensive in that the company harms the most vulnerable in the community.
This was a very happy outcome! Thanks for everyone that expressed their opinions on the subject.
Regards,
Joe

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
