The case for a wealth tax has never been stronger.

High-income property speculators will be the biggest winners from a National Party tax plan that will send house prices and rents through the roof, and turbo-charge inequality.

The announcement today that the Government has decided to cut funding to public services shows exactly why they need to tax wealth and big corporations.

While inflation is no longer increasing, the current rate will still bring little comfort to families struggling to make ends meet, says the Green Party.

Labour is sending a clear message to New Zealanders that the Green Party is the only way we will get progressive change.  

The Green Party is today welcoming the announcement of a market study into banks, but is urging the Government to act now and raise corporate taxes.

As today’s GDP figures show that Aotearoa is in a technical recession, it’s clearer than ever that Aotearoa needs the Green Party’s Income Guarantee.

The mark of a civilised society should be that - at the very least - everyone has a warm place to call home and food on the table. 

The Green Party has today announced a new Income Guarantee for every New Zealander.

Instead of creating an appeal fund and one-off lotto draw, the Labour Government could tax the billions of dollars banks have made in unearned, excess profits and use the money to support people.
