Greens and National would be a coalition of hell. Read the room, it ain't going to happen.

That number is misleading as fuck. Not blaming you, it gets thrown around a lot. Using raw, nominal dollar numbers to measures changes in govt spending overtime is bad finance. The measure to use is govt spending as a percent of GDP. When Key came to power, it was about 31.5%. Over his 9 years, it slowly lowered to about 27.5%. Labour have increased it again. Last year was 30.5%, during 2021 it was 33%. National won't dramatically reduce the number of dollars spent. (They are talking about $8bn in savings, the total govt budget is up ~65bn since 2017) If you took it back down to Key levels it would be disastrous because time have moved on. The economy is significantly bigger than it was 6 years ago (~30% larger), inflation has changed the value of a dollar, our population is a lot larger (about 500k more NZers) ect. I have no problems arguing that Labour have spent too much (31% Lab vs like 28% for National), but this "spending is up 80%" is hyper misleading. I don't blame you tho. Its quite a shocking number, and without the context seems insane. But yeah, keeping the budget at the same level means worse outcomes not even outcomes. Which is why a National govt would increase the govt budget by less, but still large percentages over a 6 year period. I know you won't read this, so idek why im writing it.

Well I used to live in the beautiful country with universal free dental. Yes, I managed to save couple my original teeth, but please, no. When he is talking about "free dental" he is assuming the dental quality as it is now, but free. It will not be that way, we tried and it did not work.

Agreed. NHS dental care very low quality.

This party cannot be truly considered a green party unless the term "green" is interpreted to mean a party affiliated with the United Nations or aligned with socialist principles. They primarily focus on addressing carbon emissions, as advocated by the United Nations' carbon zero policies, which some see as a questionable way to transfer funds from developed to developing countries, especially China, which is the largest emitter of carbon but enjoys favorable terms under the UN agreement. Their recent emphasis on dental care seems like a last-minute attempt to gain more votes, and their overall ideology revolves around socialism-a single-minded approach that is perceived to rely heavily on taxing the wealthy as a means to alleviate poverty. However, many argue that the true path out of poverty involves concentrating on production, the sale of goods and services, and supporting businesses, rather than imposing heavy taxes on them to redistribute to the less fortunate. It's important to note that wealthy countries often have superior environmental and healthcare standards, regardless of the tax rate. Taxation alone is not the solution to lifting people out of poverty. The experiences of countries like China and other socialist-leaning nations, including Sweden, which has abandoned some of its high tax rates and lacks a minimum wage, serve as examples that suggest the limitations of this far-left New Labour party's approach. Many believe that this party should be more transparent about its true ideology and stop presenting itself as a champion for environmental causes.

Wealth tax?? The wealth and investment into NZ will be lost and moved overseas. This will drag the economy down and unemployment and poverty will increase!! Other investers will also move investments overseas because return in NZ will be dismal. Capital losses will be rampant in declining economy. Will there be tax refund for losses as is done on the PIE tax system in NZ??

Shaw is allowed to answer but Tame will not let Winston to finish his answer. I’m not a Winston fan and never have voted for him.

Why would you not simply move your assets offshore? All that would be achieved after the extra administration of a wealth tax is a lower revenue available to the government. Therefore, the opposite reality of what Green supporters are looking for in gaining from taking from others who have sacrificed and worked for investment, paying their taxes in the process.

They can re-imagine "aotearoa" all they like, but they're not going to do that to New Zealand. Next time, try asking James Shaw about why he's unwilling to give a privacy waver so that the validity of his sole academic qualification can be validated as having not been based on the BA that he didn't achieve in NZ. Also, try asking James shaw why he's primarily pushing social policies instead of green policies despite his party supposedly being for environmental issues. - supposedly.

A 'wealth tax' is just an unrealised capital gains tax. It reeks of envy. It will never be implemented. Far easier to have a tax free band at the lower end.

@steeeeve8676

10 ай бұрын

I agree a tax free band is much easier but compared to the rest of the first world nations New Zealand's wealthy get away pretty much tax free. It has nothing to do with envy, more to do with making people pay their fair share. If you want a direct comparison on country vs. country, look no further than Finland. Happier, wealthier, more successful, similar population, ultra modern compared to tired old NZ yet taxed far more than the Green's proposal. Finland has seen continued strong growth throughout times of world hardship and banking crisis. New Zealand has stalled because of disproportionate tax on certain demographics, in fact under the current labour government the wealthy in NZ have increased their wealth more than ever before in history while poverty continues to skyrocket. NZ is disintegrating. Majority of small businesses are now owned by foreigners, infrastructure is falling apart and all of the home grown talent is moving overseas for better lives and wages. Something drastic needs to be done and soon and that should start by taxing the wealthy not through taking more off the poor.

No questions about how much accountancy and consultancy firms like his old employers PWC have raked up in fees to navigate the deliberately convoluted, costly and ever changing ETS schemes for years while CO2 emissions kept rising anyway. A totally ineffective, even toxic system, that profits the already rich and penalises the poor. No questions about the 12 million for the millionnaires private eco-school. No questions about the missing BA and what role his two mothers' MoE connections played in getting him into an MSc in the UK regardless. White middle class government privilege? Son of a teacher, stepson of a school principal, went to private primary school, can't even complete his BA, gets into Masters overseas anyway. No questions about the Greens racist MPs. Had to go soft on poor James, a white cis male in the Green Party. Can't be easy working with crazy Marama. Luckily his old mates from their conditioning years in the UK Jacinda and Chris ensured his ministerial job was guaranteed even when the voters didn't want him.
