Residential Permaculture Project looking for a few young adults and adults

Lyndon from Napier South

Kia ora everyone. Our family is working with noted NZ Permaculture gardening expert, Louise Phillips, to establish a Permaculture based section in Napier South. We are looking for several young people and adults that are interested in learning about gardening in harmony with Nature. Diverse learning opportunities will include computer work, finding alternative applications (medicinal and culinary) for a variety of plants, learning basic gardening principals. Experience not necessary, but a passionate or budding interest in the Natural world is plus the desire to learn about systems that foster the bees, butterflys, birds, earthworms, etc. (this is a must). In a precarious age when communities need to build resilience, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to participate with others either remotely, or on site and to build independence skills.

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?
