The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

Friendly reminder that NZ Civil Defence will be running their second test of the Emergency Mobile Alert (EMA) System between 6pm and 7pm on Sunday, November 25th.

Please spread the word so more people are aware, especially among older friends and family who may be less tech-savvy, that this is simply a test and to not be alarmed when they receive the alert.

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 πŸͺ™πŸ’°πŸͺ™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed πŸš—πŸš²πŸ‘Ÿ

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisationsβ€”like NZTAβ€”manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
