Who is getting your vote this year? 🐦💛

We’ve all seen the headlines lately — New Zealand’s economy shrank more than expected between April and June (down 0.9%).

(If not, you can read a summary of the June quarter's activity on this article published by the Post)

Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
