No.... he ruled out working with Hipkins at the last election.... he's been very carefull in his wording this time. He's keeping pointing back to what he said then... not ruling out working with a Hipkins led government after this election. It's not a case of whether he could work with Labour, but with the Greens and Maori Party.

I can see a scenario where he agrees to go into coalition with Labour and Labour get Confidence and Supply agreements with TPM and the Greens.

Never forget.... it's Winnie First.... always has been, always will be!!!

It wouldn't be a NZ election season without Winston playing all sides against each other like the Scottish māori Machiavelli.

Pretty much same for NZ.

If someone takes your property as an individual it is theft. Yet when the government can take our personal money as taxes this is seen a money tree by the left to spend with little care in the world!

I can see why the lefts attitude evolved into Gol shoplifting - straight up communist ‘what’s yours is mine’ mindset

Your such a fuckhead mate.
People came together pooled money for the greater good like healthcare and homes for the retarded rather than gas chambers and homelessness.
But you just see it as people stealing your hard earned. Even though you benefit greatly from government. Like your daycare cartel.

No! NZ’s tax collection has been 30-32% of GDP for the last 50 years. Little change.

It just means our accountants have to work harder and harder to stop the govt from being greedy. Have some empathy for the poor stressed out accountants

The idea we need significantly MORE tax like the loopy Greens propose scares me for the unintended consequences. I have no problem with keeping it the same.

And on tax, our tax as a percentage of GDP is not an issue.

Here’s the real issue.

If you have a set population, keep the same tax rate but double productivity (GDP) you get double the tax income to spend on social good.

Eg Nz, 5m people, 32% tax, $50k GDP per person = $80b in tax.

Double the GDP per person to $100k via better productivity doubles the tax take to $160b

We’ve just solved our health, education, roads, superannuation, etc problems with NO NEW TAXES.

It’s so simple. But the greens and Labour don’t have a clue - more taxes stifles the economy.
