Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.
Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

A tiny human (2?) has spotted a pen of puppies.
Studying them for a long moment, she bursts into tears.
Dad asks what's wrong and looking up at him in abject anguish she wails: "I WANT TO PAT THEM ALL!" (1)

David Seymour pulled the land rover stunt at Parliament to take attention off the fact he took money from Philip Polkinghorne & then leaned on top cops to "go easy" on his constituent.
Polkinghorne was the police's sole murder suspect in the death of his wife #nzpol #Kiwi
Shameful Seymour
