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?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14% ... It is complicated

If you love working with people and want to tautoko (support) your community, the CAB could be a great place for you to volunteer.
CAB volunteers deliver our service of information and advice to the public so that people can find a way forward with the questions, issues and challenges they are facing.
As a CAB volunteer, you would have the chance to make a difference in people’s lives through your mahi aroha (voluntary work). You would get to be part of an organisation that not only assists the people who use our service, but that also benefits the wider community. This is because CAB uses the insights, we gain from our mahi to advocate for laws, policies and services that protect and support peoples’ human rights and wellbeing.
We give our volunteers great training to be able to deliver the CAB service, and if you volunteer with us, you will gain valuable learning and experience through working with clients, as well as the benefits of working alongside a diverse group of committed volunteers, making a positive impact together.
Hono mai! Join us! Come and be part of the CAB - an organisation that offers the community real support from real people.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
