Bankwood road
Not my post but hoping to reunite with her owners
😔I've come to a deceased angel💔 outside 267 Bankwood Road Hamilton. Long haired tortie, female she's wearing a diamanté collar with green heart bell on it I've scanned her no microchip found. It's to late to door knock I'm driving her to Afterhours vets now where they will hold her for 7 days. I've put up a poster and will be going back first thing in the morning to door knock everywhere and put up more posters. 🐾🌈❤️I'm so sorry sweet heart 😔 ♥️
Hamilton woman’s $50 flax roses are helping her family get by
Marama Wade sits outside her River Rd home selling harakeke roses for $50, trying to keep food on the table and the rent paid.
The 54-year-old said the reason she’s out there is simple, especially with Valentine’s Day approaching.
“We’re broke. The reality is life is hard.”
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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
16.5% ... It is complicated
