2024/07/30

Welcome to tax cut day. It's been a while since we've been able to say that. The tax cuts arrive to an uncertain debate as to what exactly they do. Do they add to inflation? Do they change lives to the extent that they are material to most people? Did they get lost a bit in what has been a tsunami of change and upheaval since the new Government arrived? Nicola Willis is very bullish about it all and tells Question Time most days that well over half a million people have gone to the tax calculator

It's backtracked on a plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 28.9% from 2019, with a 16.3% drop in absolute emissions. Massey University Science Professor Robert McLachlan told Mike Hosking it's unexpected and sets a bad precedent. He says it's a bit soon for the airline to pull out of a target it only set two years ago and made a big deal of at the time. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy
