Labour, Greens, TOP and TPM want farming to become unfeasible, apart from when it is carried out by iwi. The Greens want all pasture converted into pine trees to save the planet. The Greens and TPM intend to give Maori first right of refusal for all land sales, and to force farmers into selling. As sovereign entities, iwi will exempt from tax, but will levy tax and fees from everyone who uses any natural resources, that they will have a monopoly on.
In a previous article above Pee Kay quoted Winston Churchill: “To think you can make a man richer by putting on a tax is like a man thinking that he can stand in a bucket and lift himself up by the handle.”
Giving Liebour et all the ability to tax the bejusus out of all would be like telling the man to fill said bucket with water, stand in his head in it and then try lifting himself up.
What would a change of Government cost farmers?
What would a change of government cost the environment? The same result as if there were no change of government. All parties except the greens see the environment's role as fuelling economic growth.
Then there would be the $22b to the black for cancelling the worst business case holiday highway nonsense project from Bach owner Luxon for his accountant mates. The farmers would be pretty happy about that!
The Anonymous idiot (6.07pm) who takes every opportunity to have a dig about the "holiday highway," even when they're nothing to do with the opinion being commented under, doesn't seem to realise that people actually live in Northland.
Anon 6-07pm. What are you smoking? Can you enlighten us about your comment as it is nonsense
Smoking is bad for you unless you’re Casey Costello
