Great write-up.

In fact, the line “Labour and National had broadly similar fiscal approaches...” is worth repeating.

So the default position we should be applying to the current government is – where is all the evidence for the claims that Luxon is making?

It's FUD.

We can't find tax cuts for the ultra wealthy unless we penny pinch welfare.

Their tax cuts, or more accurately bracket adjustments, will mean more money for almost everyone in NZ. Where did this "ultra wealthy" thing come from?

The amount of extra money the average earner will get is negligible, while the amount of public services that are getting cut to lay for it will leave most people worse off in the long run.

Not really what I was asking, but OK.
