English - Spanish :)

Martin from Frankton

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a person that wants to share an hour speaking English and Spanish.

I arrived at Nea Zealand from Argentina about 2 years ago and I need to improve my pronunciation so, if someone wants to improve your Spanish pronunciation o need help with that, I would like to enjoy some hours during the weekdays (unfortunately not on labour hours). My idea is to do something between conversation, reading and correction.

Just send me a message and we keep in contact.

Thanks. :)

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?
