Posties struggle with international parcel backlog
Mōrena kiritata,
Posties are struggling to get international Easter parcels to people's doorsteps after only just getting a handle on the national backlog from lockdown.
NZ Post experienced Christmas-level demand over Alert Levels 3 and 4, overwhelming staff with the influx of packages requested.
The national postal service claims to have largely cleared a domestic backlog of 150,000 parcels.

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.

-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated
