Some governments raise taxes to fund public health and education. Not Luxon. He is literally raising taxes to subsidise fossil fuels. He is putting a levy on our electricity bills to pay for his LNG import terminal.

Kiwis overseas help us kick this lot out so we can build an Aotearoa you want to come back to #nzpol
