@actparty@dbseymour If cost of living matters, why keep piling charges onto imports? From Apr 2026, high-value imports face Customs/MPI levies of $51.81 by air or $118.44 by sea, excl GST. Those costs flow into Kiwi prices. Cut them.

Santana’s Bendigo Ophir pause shows “fast track” slipping into red tape — more reports, worst-case hypotheticals, panels treating mining guilty until impossible. NZ needs development, not knee-jerk obstruction. Get on this!
@DrewPavlou you should come to NZ and do some work here with the upcoming election. Did you know all permanent residents in NZ can vote after residing here for 12 months? Crazy!
@DrewPavlou Nobody is proposing dumping every Amazon share tomorrow morning. Wealth taxes are gradual.
And “it won’t fund the pension forever” is a weak argument. We fund roads, pensions, defence, and healthcare every year because societies have ongoing costs.
