Labour Rule Out New Bridge Tax, Will National Do The Same?
Labour leader Chris Hipkins today ruled out tolling the existing Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Responding to this, Taxpayers’ Union Spokesman Tory Relf said:
“Tolling to pay for a new road is fair. Tolling a bridge that’s already been paid off is shamelessly raiding Aucklanders’ wallets.”
“Even Labour, who are currently campaigning on an inflation-taxing, small business-punishing capital gains tax, think this particular cash grab is a bridge too far.”
“If Labour can rule out the bridge tax, National must do the same.”
