SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Flo

Reporter Community News

Flo has got a new home, courtesy of the SPCA.
"Flo the Bunny has settled in really well with us. She bonded pretty quickly with our other bunny, Jupiter, and they are now good bunny-buddies. While Flo weighs about 50 per cent more than Jupiter, she seems to have agreed that Jupiter is in charge of the bunny zone and so all is pretty amiable! Jupiter does give in and groom Flo from time to time but it's pretty clear that he's the boss! Our bunny-loving kid is thrilled with Flo and Brendon the vet has also given her the big tick! We're thrilled to have her in our whānau."

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?
