The New Zealand general election is now only about 14 weeks away. The main parties are talking tax cuts. The government having already revealed their policy and the opposition inferring they will up the offer by the government. However the opposition states they will be borrowing money for infrastructure. It seems to me that they are “trying to hood wink the voters” there also seems to be a strong possibility they will sell Kiwi Bank one of only two New Zealand owned banks in the country. The voters of New Zealand will need to carefully consider how they will vote as this election may well be more important than most people realise. Will tax cuts give us more spending power or just be a way of getting us to pay more insidious forms of indirect tax
