Poll: A burning issue?

Paula Hulburt Reporter from Marlborough Express

Hi guys, hope you're all enjoying the sunshine. I saw a post on Facebook about one of the down sides of the warmer weather - hot play ground equipment. Are we wrapping our kids in cotton wool or have the council not thought it through with this new piece at Pollard Park?

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?
