Your reminder that agriculture accounts for roughly 6% of NZ's GDP & yet 53% of New Zealand's gross greenhouse gas emissions. I bloody love our farmers, but some of them don't half mind being beneficiaries of Govt money at times.

For serious though, once again we see clearly that the right do not have good ideas or good people, just a shitload of money and power, and even with all that, they can't withstand a single whiff of criticism or pushback

All of this to carve out a so-called "saving" of $580M over 4 years. Barely anything in the scheme of things. And it won't be a "saving" it'll end up costing us five times this in health, justice, crime, mental health, and misery.

I truly don't understand this "MUST SURPLUS; BORROW BAD!!!!!" rhetoric. Most of us borrow to finance to invest in our future. Many are happy to borrow to fund their house, cars, boats, holidays, toys, and that's all ok. Yet it's bad for a country to borrow to invest in its future? Why? #nzpol
