Why is GST so high on food in NZ? What are the pros and cons of high GST?
I made a detailed video previously explaining why food is so expensive in NZ, and one of the reasons I mentioned is our high GST on food. There are pros and cons of implementing high GST on food and each of these has an impact on New Zealand’s economy, businesses, and its consumers. I’ll explain the pros and cons and then discuss the reasons why NZ opted for high GST.
About me:
I'm a Kiwi travelling around New Zealand in my used caravan, making informative videos about the campsites I've visited. The reviews are about DOC campsites, freedom parks, campgrounds and holiday parks.
My vlog is for camping tourists (both international and New Zealanders) who are travelling in caravans, RVs, vans, buses and motorhomes, who want to see the facilities campsites have in advance of staying. I discuss what I liked and disliked about each park, so you know what to expect.

Переглядів 3132 місяці тому

In this video, we'll discuss some of the factors that contribute to our high cost of food, including GST, an export oriented economy, labour costs and the cost of land.

Watering Can Fitness: Progress After 3 Months

I've been exercising for 3 months now using my watering can as a kettle bell. I've lost a decent amount of belly fat now.

Keto Breakfast Cereal #keto #lowcarb #cinnamon
Переглядів 2895 місяців тому
This delicious low carb, keto breakfast cereal contains cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, nuts, seeds, and coconut. Nuts and seeds are high in healthy fats, hence why they’re part of the keto diet. Regular breakfast foods are notoriously high in carbs. Porridge oats contain 54g of carbs per 100g, so oats are on the list of banned keto foods. If you look on the back of many types of cereals and muesl...

Bendigo Freedom Camp is a good stop-over when you're heading to Queen...

It's popular for growing all...
Orange, Apple, Halloumi, Walnut Salad #salad #healthy
Переглядів 2165 місяців тому
Halloumi cheese is high in protein and fats and low in carbohydrates, making it suitable for keto or low carb diets. Walnuts are high-fat, low-carb, and vitamin-rich so they’re also great for keto. And the salad dressing is yoghurt, walnut oil and lemon. This salad is gluten free (I'm allergic to gluten). Please note apples are not considered keto or low carb as they contain carbs and fruit sug...

Cucumber Caprese Salad #healthyfood #salad
Переглядів 2656 місяців тому
Caprese Cucumber Salad is made using tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and cucumber. This salad is suitable for those on keto diets, but do be aware that tomatoes contain some natural sugars and carbohydrates, and therefore should be consumed in moderation. Mozzarella is a high-fat cheese, which makes it a great option for keto. I've added some olives and microgreens. Olives are a good choice for ket...

Watering Can Fitness: Progress After 1 Month
Переглядів 1236 місяців тому
Watering cans are a great substitute for kettle bells as they have a comfortable wide handle and you can add as much or little water as you want to adjust the weight. They're very cheap to buy. If you want to add additional weight (more than 10 litres of water), you can add some sand to the bottom as wet sand weighs about double the weight of water. About me: I'm a Kiwi travelling around New Ze...
