Getting home in an emergency

The Team from Marlborough District Council

It’s one of the uncomfortable facts of life that emergencies happen no matter where you are.

You might be at work, out shopping, walking the dog or having coffee with friends. Get everyone in your house to think about how you might get home (or to your agreed meeting place) after an emergency. Check out the route and any alternatives.

You can even walk your planned route to see how long it would take – a good reason to get out and about on a winter’s day!

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?
