      Tax is a complusory form of saving and sharing in the common good. The first 5% of tax should put aside for super..next 5% for health next 5% for education , next 5 % for justice system ( including police) etc... or a % to show importance.

    A 2020s version of Rogernomics would be pretty good I think! All the painful stuff was done in the 80s weaning the country off the state. Now that we aren't like that anymore what he'd do now we'd probably all enjoy from what he just said. First 56k tax free sounds great for a start.

      And that’s accepting the rather uncharitable way they arrived at that number, it was a stitch up job to take focus off the government’s poor efforts on managing inflation.

    Roger's heart is in the right place as he has always wanted to help the poor even through a lot of his policies are neoliberal. Conversely ACT & National just neoliberal ideologs and trash the poor.
    Plenty of other advanced OECD countries run higher tax / GDP ratios than NZ and have higher GDP per capita. NZ is in fact below the OECD average. If low taxes were the silver bullet answer NZ should already doing well. Its not.
    The age of entitlement for super needs to go up and be tied to life expectancy (but could potentially be available at 65 that cant work due to sickness). Super at 65 is yet another example of boomer's intergenerational theft from the young.
    Sure first $X tax free but only if there is a comprehensive capital gains tax, gift tax and inheritance tax implemented.
    "Get rid of student loans for the rich" - sure, that's progressive income based tax policy.
    "What we need to do is make government more efficient" - yes all central and local government spending should go through socioeconomic cost benefit analysis. At the moment National is just slashing its financial knife with no regard to what's best for NZ.
    "Health, housing, education - create a competitive market" - if and only if a) perfect competition is ensured (ie no monopolies or oligopolies), b) the government regulates service standards (not the providers) and c) the lower incomed don't miss out and are funded by government. E.g. for health the government would tender for a person's care and hospitals/doctors bid. We dont want the insurance based extremely high cost nightmare that exists in the USA.
    For housing there is no profit for social housing provision. Again government (KO) would have to tender new build social housing. However, first we need to stop the insanity of the unsustainable net inbound immigration rate otherwise we will never catch up on housing and other infrastructure.
    No mention of:
    a) how the unemployed and sickness beneficiaries would be supported and provided a dignified living. (capitalism requires unemployment)
    b) a population strategy

    Means testing superannuation should be the number one priority. About 50,000 retirees earn over $100,00 while also claiming superannuation. They don't need it. They shouldn't receive it. Government services and support should be oriented towards children and young adults. Full support for those in need until you're 18 years old. Reduced support until you're 25 years old. Then, very limited support after that. Adults should take personal responsibility for their lives.

      You need to read what you ,v written. Your last sentence I agree with isn't this what the 50,000 have done. Are the adults who produce these children somehow relieved of their responsibilities and allowed to pass them on to Government.
