Labour govt 2020-23

Unfortunately for NZ there is next to no commercial nous or experience in the Labour party - and it sure shows.

Classic case in point, New $3000 ute tax. Lets kick the small business owner who needs a ute to make a living. Never mind there is no electric vehicle capable of doing the tradie work. Lets kick the small business man. Hang on, isn't he the guy that is productive, paying plenty of tax to keep this economy alive.

There's a second hand market.

No low income person is going to be buying a new petrol car.

Isn't it poetic. Low income person will buy a cheap old ICE car and continue paying petrol taxes while rich person will buy himself new tesla with 8k discount and no taxes on running it.

Even less low income people will be buying a new EV, subsidy or no subsidy. A stated goal by the PM is to reduce inequality. This policy does exactly the opposite.

Oh yes they could! It's the brewery itself they couldn't run.

I did actually experience a real p... up in a brewery in the late 90's when the Heineken line was completed at DB. That was a fun afternoon although once again the couple of hundred tradies attending paid the price the following morning.
