Low life on loose in Western Heights Cemetery

Joy from Tamatea

Someone has removed the flowers and container from my husbands headstone. What kind of low life thinks it's OK to do this? A person lower than the dirt on a rats feet in my opinion with no respect for anyone else or even for them selves. Perhaps they need to see a brain surgeon for a transplant because the brain they have obviously isn't working properly What would their departed or living family think of them.

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?
