James Shaw: Green Party co-leader on their revised tax plan

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

The Green Party has revised their tax policy, promising a 2.5% wealth tax, targeting assets worth two-million-dollars, or four-million for couples. The party would remove taxes for earners below 120-thousand-dollars, while lifting the top tax rate to 45%, and corporate taxes to 33%. Green Party co-leader James Shaw told Mike Hosking that the conditions are there for a greater level of support for this version of the policy. He said that people’s tolerance for children living in unsafe situations without access to food or a decent roof over their heads has come to an end.
