Labour’s biggest bribe ever

Whispers have reached me that in a desperate attempt to turn the polls around, Labour on Sunday will announce their biggest election bribe ever.

Sunday is the one year anniversary of the first Christchurch earthquake. I understand they will use the emotion around the anniversary to announce an alternate recovery package, possibly involving huge land swaps.

As they have already spent the revenue from the CGT many times over, one can only assume that they will have to announce a new tax on all New Zealanders (or maybe just on the rich pricks) to pay for it.

UPDATE: Labour have denied (according to Katie Bradford on Twitter) that they will release a quake policy in Christchurch this weekend. It is unclear if they are just denying the timing, or the policy.
