Right on!
I don't know about the rest of you folk, but I personally will be using my vote to support a single issue that I can agree with, and ticking the leaf in 2008.
Use your power as an elector to influence the balance in Parliament. Don't let the corrupt and indistinguishable big parties of the center-left and center-right bulldoze on with their self-serving agendas.

I'ma get medieval on your ass!
I'm all for tax cuts too but remember, no matter which party promises lower taxes, they have to cut government services as well.
Now that might be a good thing - except the public like free services and moan like buggery when told to pay for something. Remember the $50/day hospital charges in the 1990s?
If services are reduced you can bet that the Community Services Card will be increased and non-holders will bear the overall cost.
Sadly there are no free lunches.
Come warm yourself by the fire
You think im lying - look at your pay statements over the last year.
Back near the start of it noticed something......i ended up with the same coin in my pocket (only a few cents down - very sneaky) but something had changed.
My tax had gone up, my student loan repayment went down. Same money in hand.....
big wow you say - but hang on a minute......student loan repayment go down, student loan lasts longer......
that money is mine dammit, after tax its mine - i want as much on the loan as possible.......fuck you Helen you rich overpaid slut. Stop trying to keep me here through blackmail!

Credit where it's due - she's a very astute polititican but I think the time's come and she's not going to make it back into office. She's has a bitch of a job for the last little while - needing Winnie's vote, and knowing he's up to his neck in some pretty dodgy stuff.
I'm surmising she hoped it would stay quiet, no-one would find out, and she'd manage the election in the same way she has a number of previous ones.
Unfortunately (Winnie) the poo has hit the fan, Clark is implicated and this is turning into a blame fest which is smearing crap on everyone.
As for tax cuts this year? Yes. Cullen is good as pitching tax cuts to be delivered in the last year of next term of office. That does 3 things -
1) "Vote for us - you'll get a tax cut"
2) Deliveres said tax cut right when it counts to get people back in office
3) Gives them the majority of their term to put in place the less favoured policies knowing full well the majority of people will forget at the next election - having been recently blinded by the "nice tax cuts!" (see 2 above)
It's not rocket science but it IS politics. Sadly we actually need policy to make the country perform - not bribery and baubles. We also need to understand we are not alone in this world. A global economic downturn is going to affect us - like it or not. I want someone at the helm willing and able to make the decisions needed to ensure our long term economic survival... and to be blunt - I don't think Helen is it... Winston seems incredibly self serving... so he's absolutely out!
Left wing policies tend to help up and help out people at a time when it's the Govt that needs help (i.e. the people need to be earning and contributing to the country's financial well being rather than slacking around on the f'n DOLE!).
Right now we need right wing/moneterist policy to make the best of a bad global economic lot... I say vote Right wing.

The tax cuts were nice, but it'll take more than another hundy a week to suck me in
Tick the leafI've been giving them my party vote for a while now, not that it makes a lick of difference, but makes me feel better

Tax cuts were promised by the Labour party in their last term leading upto the last election. Did we see them two years ago when they were due - NO.
Michael Cullen gave a brief on TV and said that they'd decided we were not going to get them.
The only time they say we'll see them is when an election is near.

When that smaller party is almost assured of a seat in Parliament, then every vote counts even more. I have seen a table showing how many votes each party would require for one additional seat, and ACT required the fewest additional votes.

ACT will get substantially more votes than the current polls indicate. All the people who will vote for them are busy working when the polls have been taken.
I would love to know how Damian O'Connor is (honestly) feeling about now. I wonder if he'd consider jumping ship to a respectable party after Liabours actions of the past few days.
A vote for ALCP is a total waste of time. Not a chance theyll get anywhere near parliament (which is a good thing IMO but thats a separate issue). Although a vote for ALCP instead of Winston or the Greens could be one of the best votes you could cast.
It's OK...I've got a spare!
I'm sorry, I don't get it.Hello All,
Let's keep things fair and unbiased, Helen deserves her own thread too!!
Hooray for Tax cuts!!
However I can't believe Labour has been holding off for so long though, am I wrong or didn't they promise these cuts a long time ago??
The way she always fake laughs/snarls at the opposition in interviews also grinds my gears. Almost everytime she answers a question, it gets redirected as a burn against John Key.
Why have you put a turkey leg on her head???
...she took the KT, and left me the Buell to ride....(Blues Brothers)
