Poll: How confident are you feeling about our economy right now?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Shame on You!

Lisa from Otumoetai

This is what greeted workers at Brookfield Sallies yesterday morning. All of it looks like it should have gone straight to the tip, which is what the Sallies will now have to pay to do. Surely whoever does this has no conscience. The Sallies do an amazing job of helping people in times of need and they don't need to be spending any money they receive on doing your dirty work, especially at this time of year.
