Any thoughts on what those measures may be?

God I hope they tax churches.

    A few people have mentioned they might possibly propose a GST raise. Is this actually popular with anyone/voters?

    I didn’t really pay attention to politics back then, but I remember when John Key raised GST, it wasn’t that popular either

        They did mention multiple sources of revenue, I suspect digital services will absolutely be one of them. Proceeds of crime, we already have that don’t we?

        I just can’t see GST being popular at all.

          @Ilovethebomb I see it as a crap sandwich, you put the gst (actually happening but unpopular) in-between two slices of vague but popular things that never actually evenuate.

        Shifting from income to GST effectively means those foreign corporates pay more.
