Matariki
I would like to catch up with those people who discussed the idea of a midwinter festival in the Chez Eelco Cafe 40 years ago. And also those who attended the first mid-winter 'fire festival' event in the Brook when I ran to the top of the Sugarloaf to get the fire. Sorry I can't remember who was there but I'd like to regroup the occasion, with Matariki almost here again.

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:

-
58.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
