‘Smokefree Aotearoa’ by 2025

Palmerston North City Council

It's World Smokefree Day and a time to reflect on the country’s goal to be ‘Smokefree Aotearoa’ by 2025.

Palmy was one the first city’s in New Zealand to encourage public places being smokefree. And now, Palmy’s gone one step further to encourage public places to also be vapefree.

Keeping Palmy’s outdoor spaces smokefree and vapefree means we can all enjoy the city’s sportsfields, parks and playgrounds with your whanau and friends.

Let’s continue showing the world we’re proud to be a city that’s leading the way in being smokefrree and vapefree.

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?
