COMPETITION: Do you have Rotorua's best Christmas tree?
Hi neighbours,
With just a month until Christmas, we at the Rotorua Review have decided to get into the Christmas spirit by going on the hunt for the city's best Christmas tree.
Let's be honest, the city's public tree last year left little to be inspired by.
The council has promised to spruce it up this year, but we feel the best trees are probably the ones you guys all have in your own homes.
And it Doesn't have to be a traditional tree- we'd be keen for people to think outside the box.
In Hamilton they run a competition every year called Trees of the Meteor with people making trees out of all types of materials.
The 2014 winners made their tree out of badminton shuttlecocks and was an absolute stunner.
So get your creative decorating caps and send us your photos.
* To enter email a high resolution photo (1MB or more) to nicola.brennan@fairfaxmedia.co.nz by December 15.
We will run people's photos each week in the lead up to our last issue this year in the paper, on Neighbourly and Facebook.
A winner will be determined by a combination of public and Rotorua Review staff votes and will receive a $50 Prezzy card.
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
