Informal Peace consultation

Maxine from Masterton District

Yay for the rain ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒง๐Ÿ’™. As a passionate gardener I'm very grateful for it! This week we could discuss how to care for mother earth by respecting and working alongside nature rather than beating our earth into submission. The health of any land is directly linked to the health of our soil and our own health. Diversity of crops, regenerative farming, reestablishment of the health of all our waterways etc etc....the time of rampant materialism, quest for power and ownership have destroyed many parts of our planet and continuing wars over what land belongs to whom is continuing to destroy towns, cities and causing the death of many. Enough!! So many people are working towards a peaceful and just world too. Let's figure out what we can do to help, in whatever small way we can ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’™.
Please join Diane and Maxine to share your thoughts and ideas. Things we can act upon in our own lives that CAN help our family, friends, neighborhoods, communities and therefore be part of an ever advancing civilization ๐Ÿ’–

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, thereโ€™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 ๐Ÿช™๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿช™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
