Poll: Will a rāhui over the Dome Valley proposed landfill site count without iwi co-operation?

Caroline Williams Reporter from Rodney Times

Dome Valley residents will gather at dawn on Saturday for a rāhui over the proposed landfill site. However, local iwi Ngati Manuhiri said the Fight The Tip Commitee doesn't have mana to place the rāhui, despite insight from an appointed Māori liaison. The iwi won't stop the rāhui going ahead, but said any rāhui placed over the land without Ngati Manuhiri co-operation would be "irrelevant" under Māori customary law. What do you think? Vote in our poll and let us know in the comments.

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?
