Amen to that - should be linked to inflation or the average wage rise to keep the relativity.
National, I think, pledged that at one point but that's gone.

I don't. Act have some excellent ideas, but lowering GST on a temporary basis. isn't one of them. It's messy and administratively a nightmare for businesses and the IRD. Why not leave it alone and bring in a tax free bracket on the first xxxx % of earnings? For a start we (nearly) all have a common financial year date. Not so with GST, but there are more complications than that. We have probably the best GST system in the world - leave well alone. Any exemptions or temporary adjustments will destroy its simplicity.

Photo op - back to wearing the hijab (symbol of oppression) despite pleas from oppressed Muslim women in countries like Iran for Cindy not to do so.
How cynical can you get? The Muslim votes are more important than human rights obviously to the spinning Cindy.
Oh the irony. The Muslim chap speaking says we musn't let this change who we are. Doesn't bother Cindy when there's a vote to be had. Whip on that hijab and throw your principles out the window to appease. Hope it costs her votes with Muslim women who want shod of the hijab, and those votes of kiwis who think it unreasonable to subjugate women in this way.
