Auckland based coalition govt punishing Wellington City for being the bulk of the public sector that collects taxes, regulates business, and for voting Green.
If it would do any good, I would start a petition to have "Sir" Russell Coutts stripped of his knighthood - what an entitled tool! You CHOOSE to run a yatch race in a sanctuary for endangered dolphins, agree to the terms of use, and then complain when the resident dolphins choose to swim around their home 🤷🤬 plus then lie on international media about their conservation status & how dolphins behave 🧐 Yes it might bring in $$ to the local economy for a few days (& how much does it cost to host it including everything?) & yes, some people obviously enjoy the spectator aspect, but at it's base it is a rich man's endeavour far from what "ordinary" folks can aspire to, and not worth the price of slicing a dolphin or two in half just so rich men can "play" wherever they choose, regardless of damage. Imagine the international backlash with photos of dead & mutilated dolphins splashed across the internet? It wouldn't only be "Sir Entitled" & his backers in the firing line, but the local authorities who let the race take place... 😲
Chris Hipkins says tax reform is back on the table for 2026....the way this current coalition is running, he'll need to ready long before 2026.
