For unaccompanied minors there is pretty strict paperwork. You need to list exactly who is allowed to pick up children etc. I’m not sure they are supposed to allow random adults to mix with them on the flight, even if it’s the PM

Part of that will be 15% GST in NZ, whereas I’m guessing butter is GST exempt in aus. But still, there’s all the shipping etc…

Time for an FOI? If they claim the info doesn’t exist, it would show they don’t actually bother measuring against their targets.

I’d love to see a mature conversation about tax. How it’s not a cost, but an investment in services society expects. What % of GDP different countries tax, and the corresponding services they get for that.
