Labour is promising tax cuts over the next few years. I wonder how I will see them?
- As an increase in Working For Families?
- As further bonuses to student loan repayments?
- Increased funds into Kiwisaver?
- A decrease in tax paid while on parental leave?
- A drop in the lowest tax bracket, countered by raising the tax take from the "Rich pricks"?
- An across the board "chewing gum" reduction in tax?
- Spray paint to be GST exempt?
I won't hold my breath.

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.
-- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

I have performed my civic duty and voted. I had to queue about 10 seconds. Living in the Prime Minister's electorate I can be assured that she will win the electorate vote. With a majority of 16,000, and 70% of the vote last time I can be confident that she'll get in again. Then again, I've never heard of the other candidates.
