Staff Nurse James
This is a really random post. When I was 7 (around 1968) I was in Lower Hutt hospital with Rheumatic fever. There was a wonderful nurse called Staff Nurse James who really looked after me and even used to buy me purple ribbons for my red hair. She made my stay in hospital a very memorable one. She was a very bubbly lady and I remember she used to sing a song called "A strange, strange world master Jack". I think about her often and wondered if she would still be here today. I recall that she lived in Petone and used to make marmalade. I would love to hear from anyone who knows of her. Thank you.
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?

-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
