Lunchtime Concert, 26 June, Methodist Centre

Chris from Lynmouth - Moturoa

Rob Fleming, Taranaki concert pianist and music teacher, will be presenting a piano recital this coming Wednesday at the Methodist Centre, from 12.15pm.
He will be playing Arnold Bax's Piano Sonata No.2, composed in 1921. This possibly the first time this has been performed publicly in New Plymouth.
This piece is a captivating work, characterised by lush harmonies, intricate textures and evocative melodies. Bax weaves together contrasting themes creating a sense of drama and emotional intensity. The sonata is a testament to Bax's creativity and his ability to evoke vivid imagery through music.
A wonderful opportunity to hear a new piece of music while enjoying a lunch break. Koha appreciated.

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?

Electricity Profits

Don from Whalers Gate

Holy Moses, Contact Energy made a small profit for last 6 months, only 44%

This is just unbelievable, talking about Luxon and his wealthy mates ripping us off in the challenging times.

Why does the government want to put a LEVY on the poor citizen of NZ, mainly to fund the LNG Storage Facility in Taranaki.
