Labor Joins Tax Push

Unfortunately, it's the Australian Labor Party. Sounds like they would support National's targeted assistance and tax cut policy, though.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Labor's finance spokesman, Lindsay Tanner, said the Opposition did not "have a problem with the idea of cutting the top marginal tax rate provided the overall balance is fair".

"A Labor government did it and we can do it again, but it is not the only issue or the most important issue. We need broad fundamental reform of the tax system."

He said "the days of Labor as a high-taxing party are over. The politics of envy are over".

Looks like we know why 630 kiwis a week go to Aussie permanently if even the ALP wants to reduce taxes.
