Very true Bernard and thanks for the work you do and the understanding you bring to issues especially on the inequality issue that will be the big election issue.
Loving these time stamps and links for the podcast, Bernard. Heads-up that the links are active in the email version but not in the substack app version.
I also agree with you Bernard about the inequality issue. I seem to recall when the Government because of COVID-19 made grants to companies to enable them to stay in business and to keep their employees in work. People considered it was an important issue which should be discussed. However, whether this issue will be an important policy matter in a party’s manifesto in the next election is another thing.
National has started the ball rolling with it’s policy on tax cuts.
