ACT’s Budget Wish List
3 News reports:
ACT would like:
-
A referendum to decide the future structure of NZ Superannuation
-
Indexation of tax brackets to inflation so “stealth tax” increases don’t unfairly cut into household incomes
-
An eight-year programme of annual one percentage point reductions in the corporate tax rate
-
Fundamental RMA reform to remove its anti-development bias, freeing up land for affordable housing and boosting investment
-
Expanding the partnership school (charter school) model by allowing state schools, if their boards choose, to convert to the partnership funding model.
They all look good to me. And unlike some ACT wish lists in the past which were unobtainable without a major shft in government policy, this is all reasonable stuff that can be done.
