Every single policy from them so far was either more tax or throwing money at problem without any idea if it's going to help. This is why modern governments are just money pits stealing from hard working people and giving to unproductive.

In your post 1649 you start talking about CGT & inheritance taxes, not death duties or inheritance taxes. I'm as confused as Blue Skies as to what you mean. Your post 1649 reads: "Cgt and ingeritance taxes, are or were different things. Nothing to do with what anyone prefers to call them."
Does anyone have any prediction about what Jacinda Ardern will do in response to much criticism, from both left and right, with the proposed extension of hate speech laws. The dangers of this foolish and dangerous legislation have been well traversed, but whether she bails on implementing it is anyone's guess.. What are others opinions?
Going by her interview with Duncan Garner yesterday morning she intends to push on, under the guise of a "discussion document". She claims she is just adopting the Royal Commission's findings, when, as Garner pointed out, she has ignored others.
I still haven't seen what problem they are trying to fix. They will certainly create a whole lot of problems and stifle debate about Labour's plans around LGBTQ alphabet soup. Labour already plans to back people being able to change their sex on their birth certificate and passport without any evidence of medical procedures, just what the person wants. Will attempts to oppose that be permitted under Ardern's authoritarian regime? Highly unlikely, it will be deemed "Hate Speech", and horror of horrors, may offend someone!
Ardern has already misled the NZ public on this, claiming that political opinion would be exempt (it's not). If NZ has an iota of common sense left, this will be her downfall.
It is hard to believe she could have been so ignorant about what is proposed, so one can easily assume she has been deliberate in her misinformation.
