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?

I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.

Upright Piano - Free - you need to organise safe removal

Ashok from Wadestown

All works but may need tuning. It is free but you need to organise the move from roughly 50 steps down external stairs. The piano comes with a number of rolls which I understand is for playback but we have never used it. The make is Meltona brand London / Canada.
