Poll: Fishing for fish and "unique" rubbish in Marlborough Sounds

Rahul Bhattarai Reporter from Marlborough Express

What do you think of a spearfishing competition that not only judges best species caught but also the best piece of ocean rubbish fished out - to encourage cleaning of our oceans in a fun way?

The winner of Sounds Summer Slam Spearfishing competition next weekend will get a hand-carved South Island swordfish bill.

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?

Pictured is a set of dehorners brought in for sharpening. Like all cutting tools, a sharp edge is essential for them to work efficiently and cleanly.

Good to see that pain relief is now part of the process as well.

If you have tools, knives, kitchen utensils, or other items that need sharpening or repair, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturdays
