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.
