ACT finance spokesman Rodney Hide said today that
Labour's Dr Michael Cullen should do his homework
before making ill-informed comments about ACT's
budget showing that it is indeed possible to get to a
flat tax of twenty cents in the dollar.
"Cullen has
never put out an alternative Budget and shows a woeful
ignorance of the basics of economics.
"Instead of
harping on about ACT, Dr Cullen should be costing Labour's
promises and putting his Budget out for inspection.
Why hasn't he done it? Can't he do it?
"I challenge
Dr Michael Cullen to put out a Budget and follow ACT's lead
and ask Infometrics for an independent assessment.
Cullen should put up or shut up," said Rodney
Hide.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
