Te Kahu o Taonui, Te Tai Tokerau Iwi Collective, has played a vital role in supporting local whānau and communities during the COVID-19 crisis. Its ongoing influence will be critical as Northland enters the recovery phase.

​Te Kahu o Taonui COVID19 Iwi Lead Toa Faneva, who is also the Chief Executive of Te Rūnanga o Whaingaroa, says the threat of the pandemic “has solidified our collaboration”.

Beware of Loan sharks!

The Government is fast-tracking measures to protect people in financial hardship from high-cost loans that trap them in debt, particularly through loan sharks. The improved protections include:

  • people borrowing from high-cost lenders will never have to pay back more than 100 per cent of the loan principal,
  • compound interest on high-cost loans will be banned, and
  • fees for defaulting payments will be limited to $30 (unless the lender can show that the higher amount reflects their costs).
