Katie Townshend Reporter from The Nelson Mail

With winter bugs biting and a new spike expected in the Omicron outbreak, New Zealand's health system is under increasing pressure. The Association of General Surgeons warns the staffing shortfall is “profoundly reducing” doctors’ ability to deliver care - and President Dr Rowan French said acute and planned surgeries had been reduced.

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?
