10 August MEET THE ELECTION CANDIDATES 2PM and 7pm
The Grey Power Rotorua Association Inc acts as an advocate on behalf of seniors on those matters that affect them to local, national and government policy-making bodies. We also create opportunities for our members to inform themselves and participate in such advocacy. We are not aligned with any political organisation or other lobby group other than the Federation of Grey Power Associations.
At the time of this notice the following candidates have accepted Grey Power Rotorua's invitation to give their responses to five pre-notified questions regarding superannuation, the Rates Rebate Scheme, access to health services and disability access, establishing the office of a Commissioner for Seniors, and their views on what the term "economic recovery" means to them and their Party.

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?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.7% ... It is complicated
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
If you multiply this number by any other number, the answer will always be the same. What number is this?
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.7% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.2% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
