The following post from NZTX has link to an article about Labours reluctance to disclose tax policy.
Lets be clear, if you want good public health facilities and staff taxes must cover the cost.
Act and National only policy it seems is to reduce Govt. costs and reduce taxes. All welcomed by the wealthy. Unfortunately the resulting anti publicity whenever tax increases are mentioned has left Labour appearing to be a third centre right party with their reluctance to even consider tax increases. Capital gains an example.
Labour has lost their way and no longer represent the average wage earner who has little opportunity to reduce their tax payments.
An IRD report states that in 2014 High Wealth Individuals paid $658m in tax. On estimated $58b in wealth.This was paid by 25% of the HWI population. The rest were not signficant tax payers for various reasons.

Health and three waters reforms in principle greatly increases govt efficiency, taking away the say from 30 little empires and giving it to one efficient and well resourced central government.
National calls it democracy to oppose them (but wants to stop 16 year olds from voting and extend the term of central govt to 4 years from the current 3).

Ardern's government of nincompoops - and increasingly evident for all to see, lazy & useless.
"The higher up the pole you are, the more you can do, and that's a privilege. What a thrill to be able to make a difference, to change a course, to be hungry, to grasp the detail, to immerse yourself into something you can affect and improve.
And yet look at them.
Clare Curran, hopeless and gone.
David Clark was sacked for being an idiot.
Kris Faafoi is asleep at the wheel and desperate to get out.
Phil Twyford is an abject failure.
Poto Williams is a disgrace hiding behind a lack of interest and Mahuta-type excuses about operational matters.
Mahuta herself is too lazy and disinterested to even pick up a phone.
For those of us who long for better, this is a shabby and incompetent let down. Being useless is one thing, but being lazy and useless is the ultimate crime."

They would certainly be the most incompetent bunch I think we have ever seen in power, nothing to inspire whatsoever.

Why stop at 16 year olds. neves handwriting is indicative of someone with a much older physical age so surely she should be able to vote! (Well if you believe the card her mother displayed as all Neves own work.

Bill Rowling's mob were as bad. I'd call it a draw.

Joey Biden puts his arm around Cinders, to the concern of some.
The poor bloke had heard an ear bashing from Damien on how tender our lamb was, so he was just verifying the fact.
He was putting on the squeeze, "you want me to sign any trade agreement, and send my boys down to protect the Pacific, without you letting my nukes into Noo Zealands ports?
You get outta here you silly little fishwife!"
At least Cinders knows whether he likes it crumbed or battered now...
