Stay on topic please we don't what this thread locked as well.

Just wondering why the Labour lead portion has been removed and its now just a coalition government.

Has there been a formal press release or anything or have I just missed it.

For income tax on the first million annual income, you'd pay about $320,000 in NZ, but about $420,000 in Aus or the UK.

It's delusional to claim that "the rich" are taxed unfairly in NZ compared to other developed social democracies.

You could still argue (as many do) that a progressive tax system is inherently unfair, but NZ is criticized by economists for having a comparatively too-flat tax system compared to OECD average, and if you wanted to justify making it even flatter, you'd probably end up having to invent theories about how making the rich richer benefits the poor.

MikeAqua:

Has anyone noticed that Ardern is "angry" with The Warehouse for announcing redundancies, after having taken the govt wage subsidy, but hasn't expressed similar sentiment toward AirNZ, who were advanced a $900m govt loan and are making many more people redundant.

AFAIK the government offered a loan facility but AirNZ has not withdrawn any money from it.
