"Vaccination Rollout Interest Registration

Register your interest in being apart of the Vaccine Rollout.

A key area within this programme is focused on the vaccinator workforce – the aim is to ensure that COVID-19 vaccinations do not impact on the core health and disability system. The Ministry will be working closely with DHBs and providers to support them to bring on appropriately qualified workers to be a part of the vaccinator workforce.

We are now looking to update the surge workforce database to capture offers of support from people willing to be part of this workforce so that we can link people with opportunities as they become available. By following the link below, you can register your interest to support the roll out of the vaccine: zfrmz.com.au...

Thank you again in advance for your offer of support.

Ngā mihi nui,
Anna Clark
Deputy Director-General, Health Workforce"

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.
