Poll: Should people donate to Givealittle pages for The Block contestants?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

On Sunday The Block houses went to auction and a controversial decision, which saw Andy and Nate's house, which was initially passed in, was sold for the highest profit at a shock second auction that no one expected. They effectively snatched the win from Stace and Yanita.

Since then, The Block losers, Ling and Zing, have had a Givealittle page set up for them - as well as Stace and Yanita.

What are your thoughts about this season's win?
Do you think the Givealittle pages should have been set up for these two teams?

Stace and Yanita's page has raised approximately $2,400, while Ling and Zing's page has raised over $18,300.

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?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
