Needing urgent help
Hey neighbors, im looking for someone that could help trim alot of oversized plants. When i moved into our place the plants were just shrubs, they have been put in some areas so high you would need a ladder, the plants have grown past the brick wall and i cant get around the back to my clothes line as they have also grown outward and are touching my bedroom window. I would also need to find a way to dump the cuttings. Im a solo mum with a chronically ill child and have took on my baby nephew, so sadly money is tight. I also dont have any tools to do the graden. It be great if someone could help. I might be able to give something for it, or if you read this and your in the gardening feild, could you come do a quote as winz may help me. Thanks heaps :)
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.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.7% ... It is complicated
