GREY POWER ROTORUA CLIMATE CHANGE FORUM MONDAY 23 MARCH

Grey Power Rotorua

It will come as little surprise that in spite of the ability of Linton Park Community Centre to space chairs out, and we now know a lot of ways to keep each other safe from contagion, giving Covid-19 no hosts to move between, our forum on climate change planned for 1pm 23 March, with speakers Rotorua Lakes Councillors Tania Tapsell and Fisher Wang has been postponed - a new date WILL be advertised in due course !

Office Hours are 11am-2pm Tuesday Wednesday Thursday for people wanting to join Grey Power Rotorua, or renew their subscriptions. This service is also available 24/7 at www.greypowerrotorua.org.nz...

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?
