Missing 'Barbosa'
It has been just over 2 weeks since our cat Barbosa went missing from Brian Crescent Stanmore Bay. We are asking anyone between the hours of midnight and 6 am that could have hit him on the 2nd of November, could they please come forward and call us to give us some closure and any other information that they could give us. If there has been any foul play by anyone can you please return Barbosa home? Otherwise Barbosa is a bit of a character. Every street that we have lived on over the last 12 years of his cat life, he has welcomed himself into the neighbours homes. He got trapped 7 years ago in someone's garage and after putting flyers out we found him. We have put flyers out down Sringtime and Brian Crescent with no luck so far. Please can everyone do a thorough look, not a quick look and think like a cat. They will find anywhere under a house or in a box to hide so can you look under your houses and in your thick bushes. If anyone finds him dead or alive you can take him to a local vet as he is microchipped or call us on 021 2222 011 for some closure. We are not giving up hope on him yet because he is the coolest cat out.
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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88.5% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
11.5% No. This would be impossible in practice.
