You've obviously done your homework. Where is the limit for "rich" ?

100 bucks aint much compared with the extent of price hikes of recent times
Has something fried her silly little spinning brain to not realise that ? ;)
Ripping all Income Tax off the first $10k would be more meaningful
Another token feel good bandaid-- too little too late :)
Must still be something leftover in Robbo's Covid Slush fund tin that can be converted,
given legs and applied to something else ? ;)
Or is the future IOU still to be applied to a new red tin to replace a bit of unseen
temporary take from one tin to put in another ? ;)
Hopefully no petty cash tins were raided & robbed to make up the differences :)
Becoming clear that Mahuta knew exactly what she was doing with the 60% entrenchment clause, and Labour's MPs were briefed on it as well before they voted for & passed the bill.
Ardern is a LIAR & unworthy to be PM of NZ if she does not sack Mahuta.

Sequence of events which show that Ardern knew what was going on and that there was no mistake :
1. National had got hold of a cabinet minute from May which said it had been decided there would be no entrenchment in the Three Waters legislation.
2. ......... when Nanaia Mahuta, the minister in charge of the bill, had spoken in support of the Greens' amendment she had gone against a cabinet decision.
3. As the media delved further into the entrenchment fiasco it was reported that the Labour MPs in the chamber that night did know what was going on.
4. Mahuta backed the Greens' entrenchment amendment, saying those who opposed privatisation of water assets had a "moral obligation" to support it.
5. Labour's Greg O'Connor, in the chair, explained how many votes were needed to get 60 percent entrenchment through, which was 72. Labour and the Greens mustered more than that, and the clause was put into the bill.
6. Stuff reported there was no shock-horror after the vote, no surprise was shown, and Associate Local Government Minister Kieran McAnulty "could be seen smiling at the successful vote".
Mahuta appeared to have conspired with the Greens to bring in the last-minute amendment.
She had "seemingly defied the prime minister and cabinet, and breached the cabinet manual - normally all sackable offences," Edwards said.
His conclusion as to why she hadn't been sacked was that Labour's Māori caucus was large and powerful - 15 MPs and six out of 20 cabinet ministers.
"Insiders say that they have incredibly strong leverage over Ardern and her fellow ministers."
