Oh fuck off Kate.

Any time the "blue ribbon" teals talk about what is good for the economy we must remember that to them "the economy" = rich arseholes yachts. Their constituents are wealthy and economically conservative, and in no way want things to become fair.

So raising the GST will be worse for everyone who works for a living and have negligible effect on those who have accumulated wealth.
