Liar! Liar! Pants on fire!
Attempting to defend the fastest volte-face, backdown, U-turn in New Zealand's political history, today Prime Sinister Jacinda Ardern claimed that the Labour's plan to rob taxpayers of $225 million A YEAR had been 'in the pipeline for years'. But hello, the Taxpayers' Union whose biz it is to know such stuff strongly denies that.
A reader of this blog, finding herself unexpectedly in hospital this week, took the opportunity to conduct a little vox pop of the medicos - socialists probably one and all - asking if they'd vote for Ardern next time. Nup, said they. But can New Zealand survive this evil, amoral narcissist's rule that long?
David Farrar of the Taxpayers' Union is doing his darnedest to ensure our financial interests are protected in the meantime. Maybe we should lend him our support.
What a day! In what is probably the fastest backdown in the history of backdowns, Revenue Minister David Parker has just announced that he is pulling the pin on the Government's proposed "Super Tax" on
Kiwisaver and managed retirement funds!
The hundred billion-dollar backdown
The news came through as staff were literally going through draft designs for full-page nationwide newspaper ads, pencilled in for tomorrow.
What’s incredible is that Ministers were across the media all morning defending the policy – they were clearly well briefed and knew exactly what they were proposing. But by this afternoon the writing was on the wall. Minister Parker was forced into a swift U-Turn following widespread opposition.
This Government is student politics disorganisation but at a national level.
In Parliament today, the Prime Minister claimed that the GST change has been in the pipeline for years, but we keep a very close eye on IRD’s tax consultation papers – and let me tell you this proposal came from nowhere.
So, more lies from 'the podium of truth'.. Yawn. What's new?
This Government's fiscal management and wasteful spending is out of control. Grant Robertson, David Parker and Jacinda Ardern are desperate to paper over their fiscal holes with your money. That's why a strong Taxpayers' Union is so important right now.
BUT: no time for celebration.The team are back to work!
