Bob Edlin: PM snuffs suggestions he is imposing as gas tax....

Wow – we can only admire the energy which the PM puts into snuffing suggestions he is imposing a gas tax

US President Donald Trump is a dab hand at telling Americans down is up, war is peace and tariffs are not a tax.

It looks like our PM has gone to him for lessons.

Point of Order: Energy levy bills are being rushed into law.....

......while NZ focuses on the Budget – “fair” taxing bills are given first readings, too

While journalists have been feverishly informing us about the Budget over the past 24 hours, they have paid scant heed to other matters on the Parliamentary agenda. This includes the Government’s introduction of four bills under urgency.
