Welcome to Kiwi Log - the musings of a displaced Kiwi experiencing the many delights of London, can't wait for the 'black snot'! I make no apologies to anyone that doesn't get the 'in jokes' - you should have gotten to know me better when you had the chance.

MJD - is 90 slides a week enough to swing your vote?

I haven't had time to drill down on the details of Nationals tax policy - but would be interested in reaction from back home. Comment away people...

I see the some left types have come out screaming election bribe, hilarious. Student Loans cash for free policy anybody?!?!

Anyways - it looks like a couple of editorials have reacted favourably. All that has to happen now is for Don to forget detail and preach philosophy. Do we want those families earning 60 to 100 K paying their own way with their own money? Or going to the IRD, cap in hand, begging for some of their own money back to do the same?

It is the same money people - it is just whether you want to pay for a pen pusher to 'redistribute' it - returning, at best, 75% of the original worth - or leave 100% with the people that earnt it in the first place?
