Just give them the lot. No opposition needed. After all National haven't had any for 9 years.

Just read this, Labour's mantra, in an online letter.
'If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.'
Seems about right. Jacinda is on to the first bit already - fuel tax, amount to be announced, CGT, details not yet announced, water tax, amount to be worked out with users later. That's week one.
The wicked witch has gone. I predict the new co leader will be a woman
Could someone get eZs heart pills ready. Labour up into the mid 30s.
Check the Newshub poll the Adern effect is in play!
Her number one reason for stepping down is the scrutiny her family has been facing recently. Next, her view that as she's been working for the Greens for 15 years, the best thing she can do now in the lead-up is to step aside from the co-leadership, and get the press off their backs. She will retire from parliament after the elections, and is off the GP list. That's a really big price to pay.
Here is the newshub poll data, also the leaked UMR poll data has Labour on 36%, National on 43%, this is more like it!

Bill says he's not worried.
She "says" her number one reason is her family. Big price to pay? She'll be on a handsome parliamentiary pension and get free airfares for the rest of her days. The only ones to emerge with any integrity are the two who resigned earlier. Do you think they would want to go back and taint themselves with the rest of the sordid bunch? The rest still tacitly defend her criminal acts of benefit and electoral fraud. It's a sorry mess that Labour will benefit from
That is the no one reason she is telling you. Nothing to do with the poll result of course. Nothing to do with the overwhelming public backlash of a to a self serving benifit fraudster. Nothing to do with the demise of 2 Green stalwarts - the only ones to show any kind of moral backbone. Nothing to do with potential revelations that the fathers family actually contributed to her wellbeing. Nothing to do with her poverty and nothing obviously to do with her feathring her own nest at the tax payer expense. Nothing at all to do with absolute inability to accept that what she has done wrong and the very first thing Joe Public want (no matter who you are or what you stand for) is that acceptance.
Those two green stalwarts unfortunately stuffed it up for the Greens; if theyd been patient, negotiated; given it a bit of time, but no they had to make an ultimatum, custers last stand and thats that now they have to lie in their self righteous beds alone and impotent; a bit amateur unfortunately. Politics yuck.
Me think's "Elzorro" labour lead Gov will finally come true //// along with NZF/GN ....oh god help NZ .......
Primary industries will certainly pay but at the same time the NZD will drop like a stone >> might well be the catalyst for NZ property Bust from Higher loan rates and attack on landlords
They were up for negotiation; thats the silly thing; just had to wait little while. foolish.
