#TalkAboutTax and rates :)
DO NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO SAYS RATES ARE STAYING FLAT!
There is no way with the levels of inflation and the frequency of climate emergencies/damage any reasonable person could think rates won't be going up.
We need the services those dollars provide.

Nats are too gutless to vote against it, NZ First don't want to lose power just yet and ACT don't actually care what anyone says. It will be repealed as soon as this Government lose power, it's how much damage occurs in between.

It’s not really incompetence because they know what they are doing. They are intentionally breaking government - even the parts that help us when we are deep in crisis.
