Coronavirus: residents raise a glass to community spirit

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Rotorua News

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
