Jennifer Eder Reporter from Marlborough Express

It's Black Friday tomorrow! Last year Kiwis spent more on Black Friday than on Boxing Day. Are you excited for a bargain, determined to avoid the shops, or still confused about what Black Friday actually is?

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?
