Who deserves a statue in your town?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This week is National Volunteer Week, a time to reflect on those who have given their time selflessly to your community and made a difference. So, which local do you think deserves recognition? Tell us why!

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?
