The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We are almost half-way through October and Halloween is creeping up on us! (It’s easy to miss β€” Christmas decorations seem to be popping up earlier every year!)

The Neighbourly team was having a bit of fun and got to wondering about New Zealand-inspired outfits! πŸ¦‡

πŸ’¬ Bonus question: What is the best kind of costume? Funny, scary, DIY, or pop culture themed?

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 πŸͺ™πŸ’°πŸͺ™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
