Thought for the day

Mike from Paraparaumu

Anti-vaxxers and climate-damage deniers are really funny people. Every day they access sophisticated information technology, with computers and cell phones. They live and work in elaborate building-technology structures. They put industrially processed foods, drinks, toothpaste and medications into their bodies. They then put those bodies into high-technolgy transportation systems; fast cars, boats and planes..... Then they turn around and tell us not to trust scientists........ Hilarious!
Cheers

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?

ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED

Gary from Waikanae

Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.
