From the editor
Kia ora,
And a happy new year to you all.
The team at Rotorua Review do hope you had a great Christmas and holiday break spent relaxing with friends and family.
I certainly did - and enjoyed some wonderful time with the South Island whanau in sunny Christchurch.
It was just what the doctor ordered - time out to recharge the batteries and prepare for another year ahead.
Already, things are getting busy with so much going on - it’s shaping up to be an exciting 2018 and the Rotorua Review is looking forward to bringing you the news from our fabulous communities.
Remember to keep in touch to keep us in the loop - I’m only a phone call or an email away - and I’d love to hear from you.
Phone 027 204 29458 or email julie.kaio@fairfaxmedia.co.nz
Have a great week,
Julie :)
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?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
