Poll: Do you think schoolchildren should fundraise by selling chocolates?

Renee Clayton Reporter from Rodney Times

Most of the time when children are fundraising you will see them knocking on doors selling chocolates.

Go get it www.gogetit.co.nz... have come up with a new imitative where children sell AA and AAA batteries instead of promoting chocolate.

What are your thoughts on this?

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?
