Today’s income tax comparison (now vs Green Party policy) - someone earning $69k. Use greenstax.cc to work out what your income tax would be under the Greens. This person would take home $576.03 more a year. The effective rate goes from 20.48% to 19.64% #NZPol #Greens #BHN #DTPI26 #TaxWealthNotWork

You know how I wasn't going into detail about how good the Greens political communication strategy has been and why? I CHANGED MY MIND. The umbrella under which everything else fits is that the Greens understand the mainstream media landscape is hostile to them, and act accordingly. 1/? #nzpol

Does Willis understand the ‘fuel crisis’ isn’t just about fuel being expensive, but it that EVERYTHING becomes more expensive? Saying beneficiaries don’t have to drive to work ignores that they still have kids to drop off & pickup, still have to buy food & other goods for their families… #nzpol

When the right uses the term "the economy" they are only talking about rich peoples money. When the left uses the term "the economy" they mean all of our money. When you make the correction in your head, it all makes sense #nzpol
