    A good time for tax cuts? Maybe not.

    Better than Tax hikes which seem to be the only thing Labour & Parker likely had planned going
    forwards - to fill the large gaping holes excavated through the Left's own incompetent management.

    You think the economy is going to dig its way out of the large hole in a hurry by doing nothing
    or doubling down with large tax increases to temporarily fill a large gap dug by your Labour mates ?

    Tax hikes - like the Rego fee?
    On the campaign trail, National seemed to think that they could cut taxes and increase spending but have found that it is a bit of a dream.
    It was pointed out that their numbers didn't add up - they said "trust us, we do numbers" but have now found they are a bit short on funds (and no Labour didn't leave holes as the PERFUE and budgets showed the numbers as they were.

    Rego fee, new and higher petrol taxes, online gambling tax, higher fines.

    Not even labour could manage to do this.

    You're right .. Labour didn't manage a lot .. leaving behind potholes, a huge fiscal hole, a shambles where the grandiose projects were puffed up to .. megabucks squandered & p!ssed up against the wall in True Labour style and a large hole where it came from all that is to show for it

    Don't forget in Aug 2023 Parker going to air on the huge Fuel Tax rise coming up if Labour made it through and probably just the start of the Comrades gutting everything standing even harder to fill the gap they had dug

    Of course it's very easy for the Left Leaning to look at increases to fund what Labour had ignored, underfunded and failed to maintain - but knew full well they would if still in, in future .. whilst at the same time they had up to mid 2023 reduced fuel taxes for temporary periods ..

    Can you clarify which "new & higher petrol taxes" you are talking about ?
