Fears for family in countries struggling to contain coronavirus

Reporter Manawatū Standard

Mōrena kiritata,

An American woman who settled in Foxton Beach traveled back to the US to support her family amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Within weeks of her return, two cousins died from coronavirus, and last week she lost an aunt. Two other family members have tested positive for the virus and been quarantined.

Many Kiwis and New Zealand settlers have family living overseas.

Where's your family? Who are you most concerned about?

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?
