A week to go and they are discussing policies, not dirty politics...

Cover of Dirty Politics

A week to go and nothing is yet set in stone. 'Dirty Politics' which was intended to damage the Left not the Right, is now a thing of the past. Political parties are now discussing policies and this is a positive thing. National has nothing positive to deliver, but Labour has plenty. I just hope we don't run out of time to influence those swing voters who haven't voted yet.

David Cunliffe declared winner of third leaders debate...

David Cunliffe makes John Key appear very shallow and obsessed with economic matters; he would be better suited to a Finance minister's role. He is no leader. David Cunliffe is more of a visionary and a leader.

“Before John Key talks about the piddling tax cuts he plans for low and middle income families today he needs to explain why he only pays 2.8% of his income on tax while a minimum wage worker pays 28% tax,” says MANA Movement leader Hone Harawira.

“How is it that workers are paying tax rates ten times higher than the Prime Minister?”

“If we all paid just 2.8% tax the country would collapse, so how does the PM get away with it?”

“Why are the likes of cleaners, fast-food workers, hotel workers, hospital staff and security guards all heavily subsidising the lifestyles of the super-rich?”
