Friends of Taupō Swamp
On Saturday, 10 October 2020, about thirty-five people, Rotarians, Friends of Taupō Swamp, Councillors Euon Murrell and Ross Leggett, Council staff, their families, and friends, met at Plimmerton Domain and carried out a variety of tasks. About 1,300 plants are now in the ground. Euon passed on the good wishes of the Mayor who was unfortunately unable to come.
Barry McEwen asked for volunteers to come along again this Saturday, 17 October when he hopes that about 1,000 more will be planted. These will be Flax, Carrex and toi toi, none of which need to be protected so the work will be quicker.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?

60.5% Yes, supporting people is important!

24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
