They are made from potato starch and are fully compostable, the designer and manufacturer is an old friend whom I met when I first moved to Blenheim, the factory has since relocated to Auckland to ensure a suply of raw material, namely starch which is a by product of your potato chippes! You can order on line so if you get a chance please support this innovative NZ business!

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?
