No doubt all those who disagree with tax cuts, or regard them as a pittance will, as a matter of principle, donate them to a reputable charity, like, um, National, NZ First or Act parties!

Nicola Willis reveals she’s had to field a complaint over Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr’s conduct
Poor Adrian Awesome - finally he's been alleged to have been seen prancing around too big for his boots ;)
Will it be out skating down Willis Street on the seat of his pants in a shower of silver sparks by mid week ? ;)

They really stuffed up with reneging on the cancer drug commitment. Happy to borrow for tax cuts…but couldn’t get the money to fund important cancer drugs?
Backtrack coming very soon.
“We’ve been working hard on that, we’ve got more work to do and we’ll have something more to say about that shortly.”
Agree. This is a very poor decision. There has been some suggestion that the Pharmac system has complicated this, but lets see what happens. You can not make such campaign promises, that directly affect very vulnerable people and gives them hope and then not follow through on it.
Yes absolutely.
And also, when asked about it after the budget announcement, Chris said that it was about money. They things were worse than they realised after Labour and hard decisions needed to be made.
Another example of him being a rookie. How was it ever going to play well that you can borrow money to fund tax cuts…yet could not find any money to keep a very important campaign promise?
So yes I expect to see some sort of backpedaling.
