Two recent interviews of different party leaders by Jack Tame use very different approaches.
te pāti Māori
Much talk about the Labour and Māori parties wanting to eliminate GST from some food
It may buy votes but doesn’t much help the needy afford food.
Te Pāti Māori proposes a suite of new taxes including an 8% wealth tax
The wealth tax is 7 times the rate in Norway. The rich are leaving Norway, in response to the increased rate.
Tamihere supports political aspirations from government funded charities
Taxpayer funded charities supporting Te Pāti Māori?
What do Te Pāti Māori and/or The Greens want, to play nice with Labour?
A vote for Labour may put Te Pāti Māori and/or The Greens in the kingmaker position, so what do they want?
Bill to ban seabed mining voted down
Labour says the bill would threaten the national supply of electricity, but Te Pāti Māori says that’s just an excuse.
Meka Whaitiri quits Labour, but stays in Parliament
NZ’s most “open and transparent Government ever” strikes again.
