We’re now down to something like 7-8% of the youth are smoking, a great achievement but leaves the hardcore still doing it. Better to buy them legally and collect the tax than drive it all into the black market ?
So you are saying that the new Government doesn't have any aspiration.
Interesting.

In all seriousness though, maybe a change from Waitangi day to NZ day is on the cards as well. There is good precedent for this as happened in the 70's. Waitangi day is just so divisive and is holding the country back.
Looks like they found where he ditched his boat:

'New evidence' found in mystery of where Captain Cook's HMB Endeavour shipwreck lies, National Maritime Museum says
Probably more there after almost 250 years than will remain of Labour's failed 6 years after a further 6 years ahead

As a fair minded man, l'm prepared to strike a deal with any smoker.
You can smoke and exhale into my personal space.
As a drinker, l will drink and urinate into your personal space.
You can be pissed on and pissed off at the same time!

Im saying thankfully we’ve gone away from setting “aspirational” & unachievable goals, to more common sense policies

Woke leftists like BS only appreciate wasteful spending with zero accountability.
Live and learn from the new government over the next 12 years+.
Brilliant, so clever, so easy, why didn't I think of that!
Oh I see, the Coalition are literally going to find the funding for $14 billion of Tax cuts & Rebates, by cobbling together money by "cutting back wasteful spending & stopping more parasites & beneficiaries from being bred."
Hope you've shared the plan with Nicolla Willis.
Not sure how they'll implement it, but presume you've got that sorted too.
All governments waste money, National has been no exception in the past, and its an illusion to think this Coalition are going to find any think like meaningful funding for policies like tax cuts from wasteful spending.
Besides, they cut numbers in the Public Service by freezing vacant posts, resulting in increasing numbers of outside Consultants contracted at 3 x the rate, to enable work to be done.
