Ardern ruled out wealth tax in 2020 for her time as PM
This morning Jacinda Ardern refused to rule out a wealth tax, which looks like Labour are gearing up for a massive broken promise.
Here is a video of Ardern in 2020:
Q: Would you resign rather than put in a wealth tax:
A: It’s not in play so there is no need for the hypothetical. It won’t happen.
Q: That is something that has been put in place before over raising the super age so would you resign before you put in a wealth tax
A: I won’t allow it to happen as Prime Minister
So Ardern did not rule out a wealth tax for one electoral cycle. She ruled it out while she is Prime Minister. So again if they now move to introduce one, this will be a massive broken promise that will feature on billboards up and down New Zealand.
