Switched on the F1 to see Oscar not in the race

Went online an, oh boy, another car that looks like its braking system had a moment

Appreciate your summary and input, however for now I'm going to remain skeptical at best until I get to read the actual policies and costings.

Now I like the idea of a UBI, the holistic fishery concept and the energy policy. But all rely on taxation changes. And I don't see enough people willing to vote on a tax on their properties

Hell, we can't even get an insipid capital gains tax through which would only be paid occasionally

One that won't be covered by sorting waste etc. So becomes reliant on changing income and outgoings.

Then there's the big grey 'most adults' that really needs expanding and explaining

08.03.2026 03:27 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Benefit payments in the last reported year, including super were 38% of the total tax take

A UBI at the somewhere near Jobseekers level payed to all 4.1m adults comes in at 75% of the tax take (back of envelope maths there)

Yes waste and complexity need sorting but that's one hell of a shortfall

One of several grey areas in the idea and the reason I'm, err, wary of it being effective

Greens have an advantage of being a parliamentary party. Gives greater, not full, access to figures

Outside of parliament and youre more reliant on FOI requests, guesses and what's been released

Its why we always hear the books aren't as expected when a government changes

Trip two out of the house
Supermarket

No broccoli, cauliflower, milk or the bread I like

Also 10 manned tills, of which 3 are open. Queues making getting to fridges impossible

I still hate supermarkets

I was up and out at 6am this morning

Drove past my local petrol station and noticed the ppl had gone up 20c from yesterday

Yesterday it had gone up 40c from Friday

Someone's taking the piss

It reeks, to me, of a party with grand ideas, based on economic theory but currently uncosted

Which isn't a surprise as they have no access to true government expenditure

I'm not against a UBI, which will apparently be 'roughly in line'* with the jobseekers benefit amount and avaliable to 'most adults'* Then theres the 'higher, compulsory Kiwisaver contributions'* and LVT* proposals

The* all throw a red flag. How much isn't stated, who gets the UBI isn't stated

Interacting with them on here has been interesting. A lot of big words and economics 101 talk, but cave when pressured

Potential grid drop coming

Hate to see it happen but the coolers combined with a pit lane infringement isn't a good look

People have an idea what Labour etc stand for

They've no idea about the OP, other than what's been reported. Which is a land tax, UBI, and losing superannuation

So they need to attract 200,000 voters with stated policies that hit their assets and might be offset by a UBI

Ain't going to happen
