'Apocalypse Now' Oil on Board by Paul Gadsby from his political bird series. This painting raises the issue of whether there should be a ban of aerial use of 1080 poison to prevent more kea deaths. Given the birds relatively high extinction risk, the use of 1080 poison is likely to accelerate the demise of the kea before the end of this century. The current number of kea is less than 1,000.

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?
