Countdown Orewa shopping baskets
Hi neighbours,
We've heard that Countdown Orewa have had quite a few shopping baskets go missing, perhaps since they've stopped selling single use plastic bags as of last month.
Are you a regular customer at Countdown Orewa and have you been effected by this? Has one of their baskets gone home with you? Are you a regular basket user? Email your thoughts to caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz or comment down below.
Please put 'NFP' if you don't want to be quoted.
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?
-
58.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
