Labour / NZ First Government

Which ever party (s) is in power I think the Tax brackets need to be shifted to take into account the movement (up) in average wages and put on a regular review cycle

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 like NATIONAL's idea of tax cuts at all. High chance the money will not get spent on stuff that keeps the wheels turning. Although personally we would benefit. I do like ACTS idea of reducing the GST tax, 15 ->10%. Seems like a better way to target any tax relief.

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.

pork andpuha does not claim to be a fan of Hosking, or even to like him. But you'd have to be pretty thick to disagree with his/her comment.

Another Hosking fan - that's cringeworthy.

CIRP is still open for a couple of months and is a covid subsidy costing tens of millions of dollars. Over 16000 on it now and some or most will move to Jobseeker when their 12 weeks ends. If they haven't found work they will be pretty unhappy with the much reduced JS rate.

Its not an employer wage subsidy.

Where's the evidence of pleas from Muslim women for her to not wear the head gear ?

Of course CIRP is not an employer wage subsidy, it is really really different eh.

Who is another fan ?

That's what subjugation is all about. No chance to plea. Cindy is enabling.
