Ask Me Anything about the week to Sept 1
Paying subscribers can ask Bernard Hickey about the week’s news, including National's tax cutting, spending cutting & new taxes plan, along with the IMF's climate & housing warnings
It’s that time of the week for an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session for paying subscribers about the week that was for an hour, including:
National’s $14.6 billion plan for tax cuts, spending cuts and some new taxes;
Labour’s own tax plan, and cuts to climate spending;
TOP’s poll results in Ilam;
The IMF warning the Government about missing the Paris targets and saying our housing is 50% over-valued; and,
the looming launch of the election campaigns this weekend.
Fill yer boots
Cheers
Bernard
As the parent of a young disabled man I'm quite disturbed by National's attitude to this particular community regarding the use of public transport. They seem to have no idea of how so many people in our country live - not necessarily by choice but through need. 25% of the population have an impairment of some sort and with an ageing population - the one thing we do need is efficient public transport with a long term investment across all parties - otherwise we ignore the needs of so many and for what?
TOPs Ilam poll result is a bit of a red herring isnt it?? The poll was asking who "which party would you choose for your party vote" to Ilam voters. The question should be which candidate are you choosing as people dont automatically vote for the same candidate and party vote
