🔴 Caution when on the roads

The Team from Manawatu, Taranaki, Whanganui-Ruapehu Police

Police are advising motorists to be aware of the weather warnings, and to take caution when on the roads.

Parts of the Central District area including the State Highway 3/Awakino Gorge area, are experiencing significant weather conditions, with reports of flooding, large slips, and trees across roads.

Please limit yourself to essential travel only and allow for extra time for your journey.

Reducing speed, using headlights and windscreen wipers, and watching your visibility will also ensure a safe trip.

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?
