Breast cancer survivor's ride to good health

Reporter Community News

Breast cancer survivor Janet Petter is cycling the length of New Zealand to raise money for breast cancer research, and hopes to inspire others going through the illness not to give up.
The Hutt based nurse battled through “nine months of gruelling treatment” that it took her two years to recover.
But she had a second wind following her diagnosis and double mastectomy, and hopes her story will encourage others.

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?
