Meet the Candidates Event Postponed
Due to both the extension to Alert Level 2 and Monday's announcement of a postponement of the General Election to 17 October 2020, the GBRAI Meet the Candidates event which was previously scheduled for Tuesday 25 August (to be held at St Matthews on Washington Ave) has now been postponed.
A new date will be advised as soon as possible, following coordination with all of the Rongotai and Wellington Central candidates.
This decision was made primarily due to the limit of 100 attendees under Alert Level 2 rules, along with the desire to run the event live and in person if at all possible (rather than exclusively over ZOOM). We are hopeful of a move back to Alert Level 1 in due course which would allow the event to proceed in a similar fashion to previous years.
Keep warm and stay safe!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
58.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
