@kingsley_t34981@TheZeitgeistNZ You're saying the British were civilised? In the land wars they murdered unarmed Māori en masse & raped the women, they've been in armed conflict continuously since 1840 and killed 100k's innocent people in an illegal war this century. Civilised?
@Waterbo81325222@mauriceraiti If the government's policies were going to "get us back on track" from this "disastrous" position why have they & economists & international monetary agencies reduced or dropped targets for the economy during their first year? Surely forecasts should level out or improve?
@gareth_baker @Bridgetpee I'm sure ird will be going thru waipareria with a fine tooth comb but their number is small compared to tax avoidance which is many times that each year. Luxon says he'll do something but I wonder how many wealthy will be really audited or will it be tradies doing cashees? 🤔
@gareth_baker @Bridgetpee Can't wait for Luxon to clamp down on those ripping off the tax system. Particularly those avoiding tax by putting their & their families' pay & belongings thru company & trusts' books. They should also look at those reducing the bright line test to avoid tax on property.
@NWD02696407@Bridgetpee @BlhfgoBlunt Maybe paying tax at 1\2 the rate of hardworking kiwis helps? 🤔 Corporate welfare during covid was more than all Tiriti claims combined to date and saw a jump in the wealth gap. Maybe part of a system that supports people with money might be a help...maybe
@NzFubar@Bridgetpee Like to know why they sound like lovely people or are hard working? Good brains doesn't mean lots of $ Elon Musk shows the opposite
@lynnemariep1@Bridgetpee Same reason women over 45 years old have mammograms free. They are a group of people with a higher need for a specific reason. Next you'll complain about men having special rights to free prostate checks
@007_agent_Bond@Joe_Trinder Many in the Indian subcontinent still don't use knives and forks. Your point is ridiculous. Average Māori life expectancy was the same of a well off european-much longer than the class of most British seaman-so there is that to makeup for not having or needing a wheel 🤔
