Graham Christensen - open studio this weekend

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

In conjunction with the Art Trail Manawatu, Graham is opening his studio to visitors over this weekend from 10am to 4pm daily. His studio is half way between Ashhurst and Palmerston North on Glenburn Road - which runs off Napier Road.

Graham’s paintings depict his life-long love of farming and the rugged landscape that New Zealand offers. Somewhat aptly, his large, light-filled studio is a converted room in his hay barn.

There is no charge to visit and we have put on a bit of a spread for those attending - think wine and cheese or coffee and muffins (depending on what you are in the mood for!)

All the details and a map can be found on his website home page: www.grahamchristensen.co.nz...

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?
