Poll: Should the speed limit around Kaikōura be dropped?

Jennifer Eder Reporter from Marlborough Express

Are you driving from Marlborough to Kaikōura this long Labour Day weekend? NZTA wants to drop speed limits on SH1 around Kaikōura to 80kmh permanently, and the Hundalee Hills could drop to 60kmh. Unnecessary, or smart move? Reply to tell us why.

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?
