		<description>Eco-Tax

The policy as written is a castle in the air.  It needs a foundation built underneath it and a road leading to the door.    We can&#039;t get there from here, anyone who reads it will know it, and unless we provide the details on how that can be done we might better shred it. 

respectfully

Crikey -  Eco-Tax?  

You know I read that list 5 times without seeing it?  Tax starts with &#039;T&#039;.. but you are right, it is there, disguised and misplaced .   I&#039;d suggest, and I suppose I will as soon as I get off this message, that there be a simple entry under &#039;T&#039; for Tax that says &quot;see Eco-Tax&quot;....  Fascinating policy.  It&#039;d be a hoot to try it, but we&#039;re headed for oblivion with labour f&#039;ing up by the numbers these days.   Now how about defense?  

I didn&#039;t look at Labour or National... I looked at NZ First.   Very straightforward.  Misguided of course, but at least present.  Looking at and you&#039;re right again... Labour with a big nothing for a tax policy, which explains somewhat their problems getting middle-NZ to vote for them and trust them instead of National.   National has a policy section in Finance and Tax (why was this so easy to see and Eco-Tax so difficult), and is semi coherent and  misguided  but easily found.
