If National wins ...

[iceman]

In the stuff article I linked they said his property gains was untaxed. So take it up with them.

Even that's conservative though because it doesn't account for deductions which reduce tax on combined income.

Every property owner in NZ is in the same situation, due to the law in NZ. It is a complete lie to say Luxon paid "0 tax". He has probably paid more tax each and every year than you pay in your lifetime. Pull your head in and stop digging

[dobby41]

Where is your source that Luxon paid no tax?

You are a liar.

It's OK for you to post lies though?
A very deceitful person.

[dobby41]

Ducking and diving after posting lies - where is your source for Luxon not paying tax & Whanau Ora being a National Party creation to get Maori votes?

You are a paid Labour Party shill & lousy liar.

Maybe Panda-NZ learnt a lot from you?
You seem inordinately upset by the post - "you doth protest too much"!

[dobby41]

For the first time in my many years on this site. I've reported someone. Panda should not be allowed to continue with his/hers unfounded slanderous accusations. I do note how the lefties on here have okayed it with their silence

Not sure the protest will get you very far - Balance was allowed to give me a false quote.
Where does it lead if you can't even trust 'reply with quote'?

I do not condone that at all, nor do I condone people getting away with obviously untrue and slanderous comments

plus one to that!

PS - I liked the Icelandverse ad from the AIR thread - I want to visit now (or maybe tomorrow or whenever, I'm easygoing).

Do we really want the country to be run like a business?

This is the 'business' bit

Anyway, anyhow, anywhere

Luxon has in the past declared his wish to be brand manager of New Zealand and sometimes refers to voters as "stakeholders", which aligns with the fear that he wants to run New Zealand as a business. Most evidence suggests that countries are actually best run as countries. After all, businesses are run for the express benefit of the shareholders and management, and while staff have their uses, most companies would replace them with robots given half a chance. I hope that most people would agree that our goal should be of making all citizens happy, rather than the elites rich.

Mid to Large Business seems to do better under labour.

NZX 50 Nov 2008 2800
NZX 50 Sept 2017 7800 (555 gain per year in 9 years)
NZX 50 2021 12800 (1250 per year in 4 years)

Everyone seems to be better off.
