@Earthyundertone

My views are my own, and probably illegal in Venezuela and Texas. A right of centrist with liberal tendencies working in a creative field. I'm stuffed.😳

Most medicines spent nearly seven years on wait list for funding rnz.co.nz/national/progr… Pharmac need $300million to fund all the medicines on their list. This govt chose to fund Philip Morris's heated tobacco products, banned in Aus & unapproved by Health, costing $300million

$10,000 to sit with the PM.
$5,000 if you’re less important. Meanwhile, families are choosing between fuel and food. Christopher Luxon isn’t just out of touch — he’s putting a price on access. And it’s obscene.

@liamvincent26 Its difficult. At the end of 2023 we already had high inflation, recession was setting in and "cost of living" was everywhere. How do you give people back some money without over stimulating the economy and locking in high interest?

@Earthyundertone Maybe, but I’m not sure their first budget was the optimal time for it. I think the Key govt deferred their tax changes by a year because of the GFC.

@Earthyundertone With the marginal rates I’d imagine the bulk of a minimum wage earner’s income was still being paid at the lower rate though.

@liamvincent26 The fact was that Labour had raised the minimum wage rate to the point where the lower tax thresholds were near useless. And restoring interest deductibility eased pressure on rents. It was the lower middle that was being hammered.

@Earthyundertone I can’t really reconcile National claiming that Labour left us in bad fiscal shape and then cutting out a bunch of tax revenue generated by middle class income earners.

@liamvincent26 Nah, that's usual ideological burp from Treasury. The relationship between Treasury's advice and its proponents is a toxic relationship between ideological extremism and intellectual credulity.

@Earthyundertone When you’ve got treasury now advocating for tax increases I’m not sure that was a good decision.

@BasicBishopNZ @MichaelMorrah Because.. its something every special needs parent is faced with. The rules haven't changed, Chris Penk didn't do anything that Wood, Faafoi, or Galloway didn't do. They arrived on a visitors visa and there has never been any right to change that to residence.

@urbantui @NZNationalParty We did suffer 6 long years of neglect though.. so they are entitled to blame Labour for at least the next 4 years... maybe more considering the havoc they created.. yep, I'd say more.

I am watching patsy questions from Dan Bidois to Nicola Willis & it is so about point scoring (still about blaming Labour) & I think we are so over it! @NZNationalParty frankly we are smarter than that!

Can anyone provide a graph or similar that shows when all remaining inbound ships carrying petrol, diesel or jet fuel are due in NZ? What is the last date, and then a big big long gap with - nothing? This is the information the so-called govt is terrified to show #nzpol

@liamvincent26 We moved the tax bracket? That should always be done, at least to match inflation. Otherwise even people on min wage find they are in a middle bracket 🤷‍♂️
