1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Income tax cuts kicking for us today, ninety four percent

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: of us will get a few extra bucks. Will it

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: be swallowed up by your mortgage or your insurance going

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: up or your rates? Probably? But better we get the

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: money and decide what to do with it than the politicians. Right. Also,

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: today MPs gets their first pay rise since twenty seventeen,

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: and watched closely watch those particularly who shout the loudest

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: about equality and fairness and justice and all those good things.

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: Do they put their money where their mouth is? Today?

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: Chris Luxen for his sins, and I assume it's to

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: stave off the inevitable media storm about he's raightch He's right,

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: He's got seven houses. He has promised to donate his

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: full tax cut twenty bucks a week to charity. Also

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: the increase in his pay to charity Hipkins. What's happening

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: over at labor HQ. Well, Labor has apparently emailed their

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: supporters asking for the tax cut to be donated. It

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: sounds good not to women's refuge or kids can but

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: to labor. Yes, take your tax cut and give it

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: to labor to quote, really help create the better future

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: alter our needs? Shameless and what about the Greens. Where

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: do they stand on this? What gesture are they making?

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: By their own estimates, they are the wealthy elite. Many

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: of them own homes. They are on salaries of more

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: than one hundred and seventy thousand bucks a year. They're

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: getting a close to three percent pay rise backdated to

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: last October, I might add, and Chloe Swarbrick, as the

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: co leader, will now get a nice bump to her

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: salary for that too. She'll be on well over two

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: hundred k. Where are the pledges to donate, Madam and

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Chloe itel? Where are they? These tax cuts, according to

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: you guys, are cruel and dangerous and a national disgrace.

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: They benefit the wealthy elites. So the question is what

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: are you wealthy elites, by your own definition, going to

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,040
