The election campaign is shifting up a gear, with tax emerging as a key battleground as the various parties hit the campaign trail.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins took aim at National during his campaign launch, accusing the party of misleading voters over tax and using plenty of colourful language. “Their only answer is cuts. That’s it. Oh… and lying about tax, which is bulls**t by the way,” Hipkins told supporters.
NZ First leader Winston Peters also accused Labour of being “late to the party,” as parties increasingly fought not only over policy but over who could claim ownership of ideas.
Supermarkets were another emerging dividing line. ACT leader David Seymour attacked proposals from other parties to break up or restructure the supermarket sector, calling them “unethical” and arguing competition should instead be encouraged by making it easier for new players to enter the market.
And as election signs multiplied around the country, police warned that vandalising or removing campaign hoardings was a crime, potentially carrying fines or imprisonment.
The latest 1News Verian poll showed National and Labour tied on 28%, while the Greens had jumped four points to a record 16%. ACT was at 11%, NZ First 9% and Opportunity 6%. About 13% of those surveyed were undecided or declined to say.
ACT seized on the poll to push strategic voting, with David Seymour arguing extra votes for National were unlikely to add another centre-right MP, after Christopher Luxon called voting ACT or NZ First “an insanely stupid idea”.
Meanwhile, Inland Revenue advice put more detail on the tax-cut debate National had taken into its campaign. The IRD found taxpayers paid an average 22.6 cents in every dollar earned in 2023/24, compared with 18.9 cents in 2011/12, as inflation pushed incomes into higher tax brackets.
IRD estimated taxpayers paid $1.3 billion more in 2023/24 than they would have if the average tax rate had remained at the previous year’s level. National’s finance spokeswoman Nicola Willis said further tweaks to tax brackets could be announced after the Treasury released its pre-election forecasts.

J3ws take centre stage as election campaign heats up
Zionists and Marxists tied on 28%, while the Weimars had jumped four points to a record 16%. Koshers was at 11%, NZ Zionists 9% and Communists 6%.
When the U.S. Federal Reserve (which is neither federal nor a reserve) was conceived on Jekyll Island and later birthed in 1913 in Washington, DC by a cabal of private bankers, Woodrow Wilson signed his shaking pen to the greatest wealth transfer in the history of the world. Rather than allow the natural forces of supply and demand to determine the cost and supply of credit, a handful of private bankers took monopoly control of the same. The net result has been precisely what President, Andrew Jackson, warned as far back as 1832, namely, that our financial system would be prostituted for the “benefit of the few at the expense of the many.” Jackson knew this because long before this otherwise unconstitutional central bank made its way to Constitution Avenue, he understood the history, tricks and secrets of powerful banks and powerful bankers. He knew, for example, that indebted princes, kings, presidents and even warlords of flag after flag and nation after nation never held the real power. Real power, even the power behind armies and capitol’s, is nothing without the money to wield it, and that money begins and ends with banks and bankers. He also knew that nations beholden to banks can also extract money from the masses, which is why it was no coincidence that in the very same year the Federal Reserve System came into law in 1913, so too did the first Income Taxation legislation, hence the real beginning in personal taxation for someone else’s benefit. Has any past or present puppet politician of the foreign NZ Company Church Parliament explained the purpose of personal taxation for someone else’s gain to you? Thought not.
Exactly!
Then just months later, World War One began..!
(read Aleksander Solzhenytsyn’s book titled ‘August 1914’ and ‘200 Years Together’…).
Woodrow Wilson was set-up in a J3wi$h / Zionist honeypot trap with a teenaged girl, and the PTB used this to blackmail him into signing the Federal Reserve Act.
THAT is when the U.S. stopped being a nation of liberty, and became a slave state to what was then Judea, now known as…ISRAEL!!!
Wilson later admitted that he had ‘sold the country out’ to the Zionist J3w$.!
Centre stage in the fake democracy party politics game of musical chairs has been allocated to tax as the “issue” to flagellate themselves over in an (s)election cycle of spin, deception and false promises. The “issue” has been selected by the fake democracy party politicians in collusion with the presstitutes – no voters were involved in the decision making, and never will be under the rule of the fake democracy party political system.
After the (s)election they will do what there were going to do anyway and the (s)election soundbites will fade into the distance.
Below is the tax plan that will work but is ignored by the parasitic Zionist gougers..and the J3wi$h-owned MSM!

Clown show at the expense of the middle class, as always. I think the difference this time, is there will be an exodus out of the country to Australia and other places, to escape the draconian tax polices that will come in.
