Movie night in Mapua
Don't forget
This Sunday at the Packhouse Cinema . . . .
Three Summers
Ben Elton has done a terrific job of capturing everyday Australians; the good and the bad and the ugly.
This Australian movie had so many laughs along with serious moments. I find that some movies depend on big names to carry it but this is just not the case with Three Summers. I wonder how many takes they had for some of the scenes with Magda Szubanski. Her dialogue was hilarious and she did it with a straight face,
but I don't know how.
Peter Rowsthorn did the same scene 3 times in the movie and it just got funnier and funnier. Michael Caton did such a credible job of the older bigoted Australian, that all I could see was my father-in-law until the turnaround at the end. I could go on and on but I don't want to spoil it. Go see it for yourself. There's something for everyone; young and old. I haven't even mentioned the music. Go hear it for yourself. I'm getting the DVD when it comes out. It's going to be a classic like “The Castle!”
Let's meet for a drink and something to eat at the Sprig and Fern opposite the hall.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
