Any thoughts on what those measures may be?

God I hope they tax churches.

That seems very unlikely. The Herald is saying they understand charities and churches are keeping their tax exempt status:

This speculation was fuelled by Luxon and Willis refusing to confirm or deny such an idea. However, the Herald understands charities and churches will keep their current tax-exempt status.

Guess we're going to have to wait and see what their actual plan is. Wish they'd just tell us, instead of telling us they're going to tell us.

Yeah, I can't see National enacting something like that, unfortunately. Dreams are free though.

I'm prepared to be disappointed, but will wait to see what they actually announce.
