Mt Rokko Gully in Autumn

Paul from Levin

Perhaps my favourite image of Japanese Scenery. Taken in the 1960s on Mt Rokko, near Kobe city. I still remember gazing at the scene. It was autumn, the white leaves were yellow.

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?
