    Of course not. Winston even had a sign made to tell us that.

    Even all those hundreds of millions won’t outspend China in the Pacific ...if that is Winnie’s objective.

    If you go here (https://www.labour.org.nz/familiespackage) you will see Labour have budgeted $374m in the 2018/2019 year. So they have promised $700 in the upcoming financial year.

    There is the issue of the "small Print" that the Labour plans will come into force on 1 July 2018. That is presumably when they will stop the 2017 Budget and replace it with their own plan. Trouble with this though is that the 2017 Budget was to drop personal income tax by approx $1,000. So if their Plan is to replace the 2017 budget on 1 July surely your tax should drop from 1 April to 30 June.

    Never mind the promise and numbers are clear - $374m to the old folks for a $700 a week payment in the 2018/19 financial year. Stop the oldies from dying Labour - keep your promise!
    Labour said they would introduce an energy payment but in both your quoted links no actual timing was given. Also the tax rebate was a National bribe and was not part of any Labour budget so you have your head inthe clouds expecting a tax cut from April to June.

    Timing was given - it was very clear the money had been budgeted for the 2018/19 fiscal year. That obviously means the winter of 2018

    To achieve this, in part Labour obviously had to increase the revenue side of the budget which meant putting my taxes up from 1 April 2018 from what they would otherwise have been
