It's not over until the fat lady sings...

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

Get in quick - the Heretaunga Players’ first show of 2018 returns us to the village of Little Grimley with The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley.
Gordon (Andrew Tait), Margaret (Heather O’Brien), Joyce (Janet Beams) and Bernard (Greg Judd) are the surviving members of Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society.
They’re back to tackle yet another threat to their survival – this time in the shape of a rival am-dram, newly-formed in their village, determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical.
Season opens April 26. Shows will be performed at The Studio, Ward St and tickets are available from Expressions or by calling 527 2168.

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?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
