Poll: POLL: Should the Bluff Club Hotel be demolished?

Georgia Weaver Reporter from Southland Times

On Wedneday, resource consent hearing commissioner Peter Constantine decline the Southland Bluff Oyster and Food Festival Charitable Trust's request for permission to demolish category 2 heritage building The Bluff Club Hotel.

In his decision summary, Constatine said he was concerned by a "significant lack of detail in the application to be able to definitively rule out the potential for alternative outcomes" for the building.

Do you think the trust should have been allowed to demolish the building?

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?
