Winter cold
Hello neighbours, just a quick reminder not to forget us here at Rata Park. We know the weather is cold but we have a warm and inviting lounge if anyone would like to come visit for a cuppa and a catch up. We have like the greater community had our fair share of winter coughs and sniffles but have managed to keep these illness becoming to severe. We unfortunately had to postpone our trip to Dunedin yesterday to visit the butterfly exhibition at the museum due to bad weather and we were not wanting to risk our precious cargo. Please keep us in mind if you require any of our services to support you while still living in our great Winton community, we are always happy to accommodate where we can. Of late we have been providing a lot of short term care for people, anywhere between 3 days and 6 weeks. Stay warm from the Rata Park Team.

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?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
