Bodhi Revisited
Dear Neighbours,
I understand a public interest story about Bodhi’s untimely death will not appear in the local newspaper. Apparently a certain party does not want it published. Thank goodness for Neighbourly.
I have been open with all information relating to this event. In spite of strong feelings about what happened to Bodhi, I have tried to be reasonable and even-handed with the vet. I trust the local newspaper would have been as well ...and would have fairly represented the views of all sides. Is there a genuine reason why the wider public shouldn’t know about this story? Wouldn’t being aware of what could happen to a pet at a vet be in the public interest? Could it possibly save an innocent animal’s life? Isn’t this more important than money or reputation? And what happened to a free press? This doesn’t sound like New Zealand.
Should this story be on Facebook, Twitter and the whole wide-world of social media or should I let it go? What do my neighbours think?
Sincerely,
David
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
