Ani O'Brien: The Greens' vision a pathway to Venezuela

As promised, here is my review of the expenditure portion of the Greens’ alternative budget. Claiming to have found $88 billion in additional revenue thanks to taxing the shizzzzz out of New Zealanders, the Greens have gone to town spending big. It will come as zero surprise that my scepticism over their revenue generation plans carries through to their big spending ideas. This is a critical review, my friends.

Also, I am writing this with a couple of pinots under my belt. The tone will likely differ to that of my first Green budget piece.
