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?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

Nicky Horsbrough - Harcourts Helensville

Real Estate Done Right! 🏡✨
A great real estate experience starts with the right agent! Here’s what my clients say about working with me:
💬 “Nicky Horsbrough wins the sale
My wife and I have tried for some time with other agents to sell our 2 x sections in the Helensville area without success.
Nicky took on the challenge of the sale. It did take some time, but Nicky was tenacious, and in the end, we have a successful sale of both properties.
We would certainly recommend Nicky.
Thank you, Nicky.”
