Poll: Should private use of fireworks be allowed?

Alice Angeloni Reporter from Marlborough Express

Will you be using fireworks at home? Or going to an organised display?
It is Guy Fawkes fireworks night tonight. Fireworks are up for sale in the three days leading up to November 5. They can be let off at any time.

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?
