Such as bribes for the 2014 and 2017 elections rather than taking a long term view.

Beats encouragement the reverse way from the Labour No-Hopers in the form of tax anything left standing hard
to fill a gap & fund more mindless squandering & unproductive dribble and send things further down the dunny ;)
Six years of F-All to show for the last Labour / Greens reign & the economy in tatters on the way downhill .. God knows what a further term of that mob would have brought on all kiwis now ;)
Where's your mate Robbo hiding now ? .. Not a squeak out of him .. things must have been worse than desolate and heading further down ;)
It might have been a hard lesson - only being able to gut the Central Bank wholesale just once & then there's nothing left to try again without putting it back ;)
That's what happens when a Govt guts the economy & has no answers & very few further options other than to plunder & inflict more pain to cover for their own incompetence ..
Bl**dy taxes & hiked Fuel Levies etc etc coming out everyone's ears and an economy in freefall worse than Argentina's .. COL heading off the Wall & likely a Labour Govt tone deaf to the screams (A repeat of closing year of Clark's terms likely when ignore became the only response from Govt) that's likely what the Comrades had in store for this term before they got booted ;)
Fortunately the majority of Kiwi's didn't want a bar of Labour's looming peasant class existence on the way and decided we were better than what was very likely coming under the Clueless Labour / Green Duo ;)
Undoubtedly, the Party faithful must have thought it was party time .. but alas even that comes to a screeching halt sooner or later .. like the recent Party on Woolies until that got discovered :

Time for a few deep breaths. They don't owe Panda in particular an explanation and he didn't demand one. I don't think he can be fairly accused of believing he is special.
It seems to be quite reasonable to note that there has been no explanation of how they are to be funded, because in the absence of appropriate provision, tax cuts are inflationary.
You say they will be funded by controlled spending. It is also reasonable to ask what services wil be cut as spending is controlled.
Do you know?
Tax cuts are inflationary while rampant government wasteful spending is not? The last 3 years must have showed you what happens when an economic illiterate government (Ardern, Hipkins, Robertson & Maori cabal) splashes money like it is free.
Did you ever question Labour how it was funding its rampant wasteful inflationary spending?
If you did, show us and then, you may qualify to ask the above.
