The right’s “nO moRE taXeS” refrain is such bullshit.

Tax is good!

Tax is how we get all the good things that we all rely on. We just need to make tax fair.

Tax capital gains, tax the rich.

This is twisted.

Billions in profit for the dairy industry while WE pay the heavy price of more polluted rivers, contaminated drinking water, climate emissions, mud farming and palm kernel driving rainforest destruction.

Unbelievable!

Canterbury families can’t trust that water from their kitchen tap is safe to drink because the dairy industry is contaminating it with nitrate while making massive profits.

And up goes the price of food, fertiliser, transport, heating etc while oil companies and billionaires rake in more profits.

Our reliance on oil could be our downfall.

The ACT Party’s climate policy is idiotic and deceitful.

NZ’s pledge to halve emissions by 2030 was already insufficient and then further weakened by accounting tricks, rollbacks, and a relaxed methane target.

Independent ratings do NOT see NZ as more ambitious than other countries.

It's blatant climate denial.
