General Election 2020 Candidates Debates?
Does anyone know of any 2020 Candidates Debates in New Plymouth, which are aimed at a General Audience of ALL ages, ALL Income Groups, and ALL Occupations etc. happening in the next week or two? Because I for one, have not managed to meet/see any Candidates so far! Nor hear any of their views, policies, messages etc. - Who are these people? Last time in 2017, our 'Daily News', held a well-attended Debate in the Civic Chamber, with the Editor as the M.C.... I was there and it was good. Where is our 'Paper' this year? They keep asking us for our Finances during Covid, but where is their Support NOW when WE NEED IT?

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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Electricity Profits
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.
