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?

Ride the Cyclone

Marketing Manager from Circa Theatre

Darkly funny, wildly imaginative, and surprisingly heartfelt, Ride the Cyclone is the viral musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm.

In this hilarious and exhilarating story, the lives of six teenagers of the St. Cassian Chamber Choir are changed forever after they board a doomed rollercoaster ride.

Thrown into the abyss, they awake to find an ominous mechanical fortune teller that offers them the chance to compete for the prize … to return home in one piece.

Now confronted with their darkest desires, shameful secrets and each other, this “supremely witty … and just plain delightful” (New York Times) musical makes a uniquely uplifting and outrageous case for what makes a life worth living.
