Have you seen this man? There are concerns for his safety!!!!

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Whangarei Police remain very concerned for the safety of Kevin Charles Stewart, and are asking coastal residents and property owners to check around them for anything unusual.

The 55-year-old left a cabin he lives in near central Whangarei some time during the night of December 7/8.

He has not made contact with friends or family since he was last seen late in the evening on December 7.

Mr Stewart is of slim build and approximately 169cm tall, with grey hair and brown eyes.

He may have made his way to east coast beaches near Whangarei, so Police ask property and bach owners to please check your dwellings and shed or garages for any unusual signs or activity.

If you live in coastal settlements near Whangarei, please also check any neighbouring empty properties.

Anyone who has seen Mr Stewart or has any information that may help Police find him, is asked to contact Senior Sergeant Steve Dickson on (09) 430 4542.

Urgent information can be phoned in to 111.

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?
