Speed limits

Paul from Kerikeri District

This is just a general question to anyone who may know the answer, cause I'm curious!
I have often wondered what the word "TEMPORARY" means to the national roading body of NZ. Often "Temporary" appears to means years in some cases I have seen in the past, even without roadworks. But today, unless I'm going mad (which is a possibility!), the permanent 50Km speed limit, which has been in place for decades, through the town of Kaiwaka in Northland, has become "Temporary"! And I mean the 50km bit past the hotel and such, not the 70Km section south of that. So any answers NZ?

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?
