WHANGAREI BIRD RESCUE
Disappointed to read Northpower have cut their annual donation to our famous Whangarei Bird Rescue. Robert and Robyn work tirelessly and don't deserve to have to go looking for Sponsorship. Northpower has a monopoly for power in our District and surely $14000 p.a won't make a hole in their funds...I am sure if enough of us protest this decision and remind them it extremely NEGATIVE...a rethink with the publicity will be a POSITIVE STATEMENT and will probably be worth than what is required!..I have had 3x accounts with Northpower (some commercial) for 3 x decades and this does not sit well with me, nor many of my family and friends....I have written to Mr Macmillan WILL YOU??
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated
