Have your say on Trade for All

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

We want to help all New Zealanders benefit from trade wherever they are. That’s why the Government is consulting New Zealanders to develop a Trade for All policy. We want to hear your views on trade policy and what matters most to you. Take our short poll, share your comments or make a submission here.

- How can trade support sustainable economic development that takes into account the impact on our environment?
- How can trade benefit our regions and support women, Maori and small and medium enterprises to succeed globally?

Come to a public meeting or hui. You can find the details and register here.
Find more information about Trade for All and our current trade policy at www.haveyoursay.mfat.govt.nz

Have your say on Trade for All. Submissions close on 14 October 2018.

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?
