Poll: What are your thoughts on buying a meth-house?

Briar Hubbard Reporter from Franklin County News

New Zealand has gone into a frenzy over the P problem, when in reality many supposedly meth-contaminated houses pose no risk to human health if you simply scrub down the walls with a decent detergent.

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?
