Central city stayaways

Shannon Beynon Reporter from Northern Outlook

Have you been into Christchurch city since the earthquakes? Our discussion about busses a couple of weeks ago prompted an interesting email from someone who revealed she hasn't been into the CBD since the earthquakes. I don't think she's alone, but I'd be interested to know how many people are in the same boat. Have you stayed away from the central city, either deliberately or because the transport isn't there? Why? Do you know someone who has chosen or hasn't been able to visit? Please comment below (include NFP in your comments if you don't wish them to appear in print) or email me if you're happy for a reporter to give you a call to discuss. Thanks! Shannon

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?
