vintage radio return - fleetwood grove

Peter from Waikanae

Hello.
About 10 days ago my family was clearing out my dad's garage at the end of Fleetwood Grove (between xmas and new year) we had a couple of skip bins in the driveway which intrigued some neighbours and parkgoers. An older brother and sister started chatting to my brother and brother-in-law and they invited them into my dad's garage for a look around. He has been an engineer by trade so he has lots of fascinating things. My brother offered the man to take a radio. He took this orange one as in the picture below. Unfortunately, we hadn't really looked at all of the radios yet and my son had had his eye on this one as it goes perfectly with his grandad's clock - also see below. it is a good grandad cobo to remember him by.
The sister had a family connection to our family name - Blackler. so that was interesting. But if anyone recognises this brother and sister, then please get in contact. We would love to be able to have the radio back. You are welcome to choose a different radio! (both brother and sister are slim build, grey hair, not sure how local they are).
thank you!

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?
